Drafting a Last Will and Testament in Kyiv: Secure Your Legacy in Pechersk

Taking decisive action to plan the distribution of your assets is a profound mark of responsibility. Unlike a Deed of Gift, which immediately strips you of your ownership rights, executing a Last Will and Testament in Kyiv ensures you remain the absolute, unquestionable owner of your real estate, bank accounts, and corporate shares for the rest of your life. A will is a completely private, unilateral legal instrument: you have the ultimate freedom to leave your estate to anyone (including non-relatives or charities), specify exact inheritance shares, and crucially, revoke or rewrite the document at any time without notifying your heirs.

Digital Registration: Safeguarding Your Will in State Registries

Simply writing down your wishes is not legally binding; it requires strict notarial certification. In the modern Ukrainian legal framework, our private notary ensures your testament is bulletproof and digitally preserved.

•

Immediately upon signing, our notary registers your will directly into the Unified Inheritance Registry. This guarantees that your document can never be lost, hidden, or forged by disgruntled relatives.

•

Absolute notarial secrecy is maintained. No one—not even your closest family members—can legally access the contents of your will while you are alive.

•

You hold the right to amend or cancel your will an unlimited number of times. Whenever a new will is executed, the previous version is automatically nullified and electronically overridden in the state database.

Cost of Notarizing a Will (Current Rates: May 2026)

Our transparent fee structure is fully aligned with the competitive private notarial market in Kyiv as of May 2026.

•

The notarial fee for drafting and certifying a Simple Testament (Will) ranges from 1,800 to 2,500 UAH.

•

For a Testament with Special Conditions (such as placing specific obligations on the heir) or a will requiring formal witnesses, the cost is between 2,500 and 3,000 UAH.

•

Formally revoking a previously established will (even one notarized at a different office) generally costs between 500 and 700 UAH. This comprehensive fee always includes a deep legal consultation and the mandatory registry filings.
