Issuance of an Inheritance Certificate by Will in Kyiv: Executing Last Wishes in Pechersk

The existence of a Last Will and Testament fundamentally changes the distribution of an estate, allowing assets to be transferred to specifically chosen beneficiaries rather than default statutory heirs. Obtaining the Certificate of Right to Inheritance by Will in Kyiv is the final legal milestone, occurring exactly 6 months after the inheritance case is officially opened.

Digital Due Diligence: Auditing the Will and Protecting Against Disputes

Issuing an inheritance certificate based on a will requires rigorous legal verification. Under Ukrainian law, an individual may rewrite their will as many times as they wish, but only the most recent version holds legal authority. In 2026, our private notary acts as an impartial digital auditor before finalizing any title transfers:

•

We conduct a final, real-time synchronization with the Unified Inheritance Registry to definitively confirm that the presented will is the absolute latest version and was not secretly altered or revoked prior to death.

•

The notary meticulously investigates the potential existence of "forced heirs" (such as minor children, incapacitated spouses, or elderly parents) who are legally entitled to a mandatory statutory share of the estate, regardless of the will's contents.

•

We perform a final audit of the real estate via the State Register of Rights to Real Estate (DDRP). Immediately upon issuing the certificate, the notary directly registers your new ownership title into the state database.
