Inheritance & Estates

An inheritance in Ukraine can be settled while you live in Canada: the inheritance case at the notary, the documents behind it, inherited property, and the estate's ongoing administration all run through your representative and the Kyiv desk. LexRoota coordinates the sequence and the paperwork across both countries. The inheritance case itself is conducted by the licensed Ukrainian notary holding the file.

01 Inheritance in Ukraine While Living in Canada
You can accept and settle an inheritance in Ukraine entirely from Canada: the inheritance case opens and closes at the Ukrainian notary, with you acting through a representative under a power of attorney or by documents signed and apostilled in Canada.
6–9 months typical
02 Inheritance Documents Remotely
A Ukrainian inheritance case runs on documents, and all of them can be gathered while you remain in Canada: the death certificate, your relationship evidence, asset records, and any court papers, each apostilled or consular-certified in the right country and translated into Ukrainian.
3–6 weeks typical
03 Inherited Property in Ukraine
An inherited apartment, house, or land plot in Ukraine becomes yours on paper through the inheritance certificate and a registry update — both done while you live in Canada through your representative.
2–4 weeks + sale
04 Remote Estate Administration in Ukraine
An estate in Ukraine can be administered end to end from Canada: assets identified and secured, debts and taxes settled out of the estate, heir shares formalized, and distributions documented so every heir sees the same numbers.
6–12 months typical
How this category works

Three things set the route: whether the six-month acceptance window is still open, what the estate contains (property, accounts, shares), and how many heirs share it. The first step is always a status check with the notary holding the case, and scope plus price follow in writing before any paid work starts.
