With a request to answer this question, as well as to explain the rules on changing the order of inheritance, Rakurs turned to Victoria DEREVYANKO, a private notary of the Kyiv City Notary District.
The reader said that he lived with his sister in the house that she inherited after the death of her parents. In the last years of her life, the man helped her sister, who was bedridden due to a serious illness. Now he asks whether I have the right to inheritance as a second-order heir after the death of my sister, along with her two adult children who accepted the inheritance?
The notary answered in the affirmative. The law provides for the possibility of changing the order of inheritance. This can be done in two ways – contractual and judicial. The contractual agreement provides for a change in priority by concluding a notarized agreement between the interested heirs, provided that it does not violate the rights of the heir not participating in it.
An heir, according to the law of the following orders, may apply to the court to obtain the right to inherit together with the heirs of the order who has the right to inherit, provided that for a long time he cared for, provided financially, provided other assistance to the testator, elderly age, serious illness or injury was in a helpless state. But these facts will need to be proven in court.
Inheritance cases are among the most complex and confusing. My main task as a notary is to peacefully resolve controversial issues, taking into account the interests of all participants in the civil process and not bring it to court,” said notary Victoria Derevyanko.
