Call the officeCall: +373 78 508 311Start with the date of death, family relationships, any will and available information about assets and liabilities. Bring notarial documents, correspondence and any court decisions. Mention assets or participants outside Moldova.
Advice may concern disagreements between heirs, a contested will, asserted inheritance rights or division of assets. Notarial work and representation in a dispute serve different purposes. The applicable law and deadlines depend on the relevant dates and any international elements.
Deadlines for accepting an inheritance are limited. Contact a lawyer as soon as possible after the person’s death.
We set the fee in writing after the first consultation.
There is a legal deadline, which can depend on the situation. Call us and we will check it for your case.
Identify the date of death, last domicile and any notarial file. The version of succession rules and transitional provisions may matter. A deadline described in a recent article should not automatically be applied to an older estate.
Prepare records supporting your relationship to the deceased, any known will and asset documents. Identify other interested persons and disputes over their status. An initial inventory should include both property rights and known obligations.
Obtain copies of documents already issued and retain applications, responses and submission records. Missing paperwork, a notarial refusal and a dispute between potential heirs are different problems. The appropriate route depends on the particular act and desired result.
Flag foreign domicile, assets abroad and documents issued by foreign authorities. Jurisdiction, applicable law and recognition may need review. One set of documents and one procedure should not be assumed to resolve assets in several countries.
When arranging an appointment, briefly describe the issue, intended result and any approaching deadline. Prepare a timeline and a list of available and missing documents. Send sensitive records only after agreeing a communication channel. The consultation should clarify options, risks and steps requiring further evidence. Document preparation, representation and related expenses depend on the agreed scope of engagement; making an appointment should not be assumed to include all these services.
