When to apply for inheritance

An application for acceptance of an inheritance must be submitted within 6 (six) months from the date of death (not after, but within six months), after six months it will be too late.

The most common mistake is to wait half a year after the death of the testator and only after that go to the notary. This is wrong, the application must be submitted as soon as possible! Moreover, the very fact of filing an application is important. It is important to be the first to claim your inheritance. This is due to the fact that the person who first applied for acceptance of the inheritance has advantages over other heirs.

In order to become the "main heir" you will need a minimum set of documents:
- statement
– passport + TIN
- certificate of death of the testator
- a certificate from the last place of residence of the testator
- confirmation of family ties with the deceased.

All other documents can be reported (sent) to the notary later.

Who can apply for an inheritance

The application is submitted to a notary (no difference, private or public).

The location of the notary must be in the same place where the deceased was registered (for the city - any notary in the city).

Due to the martial law in Ukraine, in 2023 an application can be submitted to any notary in Ukraine without reference to geography
