How to draw up a power of attorney for inheritance matters in Ukraine while in the United Kingdom

In order for your representative in Ukraine to have the right to:

• apply to a state or private notary for the opening of an inheritance;
• submit applications, obtain certificates of inheritance;
• conduct court cases regarding the contesting of inheritance or the restoration of the term;
• register ownership of real estate or land — you need to draw up a special power of attorney that meets the requirements of Ukrainian law.

For a power of attorney issued in the United Kingdom to be valid in Ukraine, it must be notarised and apostilled. We will arrange:

• drafting of the text in Ukrainian in accordance with the Civil Code of Ukraine;
• consultation on the scope of the authorised representative's powers;
• notarisation of the client's signature in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland;
• apostille at the FCDO (Legalisation Office);
• (if necessary) translation or duplicate version of the document in English for the notary;
