Submit an application for acceptance or refusal of inheritance

Submit an application for acceptance or refusal of inheritance in the United Kingdom — for inheritance in Ukraine, the United Kingdom or abroad

Have you received an inheritance but don't know how to legally formalise it?

Our legal marketplace Consultant provides full support in filing an application for acceptance or refusal of inheritance — regardless of whether it concerns inherited property in Ukraine, the United Kingdom or third countries.

We work with all clients who are in the United Kingdom, regardless of citizenship, and help to competently resolve inheritance issues without the need for personal presence in the country where the inheritance is opened.

How to file an application for acceptance of inheritance from the UK

An application for acceptance of inheritance is a legal confirmation of your intention to enter into inheritance rights. In Ukraine, it must be submitted within 6 months from the date of opening the inheritance. In the UK, there are specific deadlines and procedures for submitting documents to the Probate Registry.

The Consultant legal marketplace team:

• prepares an individually tailored text of the application, taking into account the jurisdiction (Ukraine, the United Kingdom or another country);
• organises notarisation of the signature in the United Kingdom;
• performs apostille certification at the FCDO if the document is to be submitted outside the United Kingdom;
• provides an official translation if required by a foreign notary or court;
• assists in delivering the application to a Ukrainian notary, British probate office or other competent authority abroad.

Renunciation of inheritance — legal and risk-free in any jurisdiction

Accepting an inheritance is not always the best decision. If the inheritance includes debts, encumbered property or legal risks, you can officially renounce it.

Our team works with clients who:

• have received an inheritance in Ukraine but are located in the UK;
• have received property in the UK but do not wish or are unable to dispose of it;
• have inherited real estate or assets outside the UK, for example, in the EU or the US.

The lawyers at the Consultant legal marketplace:

• advise you on whether renunciation is possible in your case;
• ensure that the application is correctly drawn up in accordance with the requirements of the specific country;
• organise certification, apostille and translation;
• deliver the document to the competent authority.
