Full legal support when dissolving a marriage When dissolving a marriage, the spouses have decided to resolve all property issues and issues regarding upbringing and maintenance payments for minor children in an amicable way and out of court. At their request the lawyers have drafted a number of contracts and agreements, and provided legal support during execution of these documents. As a result a significant amount of money has been saved as well as good relationships between former spouses and other family members.

Preventing property conflicts between heirs Four heirs came into inheritance. Their ‘abrasive’ relationships would not allow them to comfortably use the immovable property they inherited, with each of them owning a portion. The situation was complicated by the fact that the real estate was located abroad. Lawyers drafted an inheritance sharing agreement drafted based on the results of numerous negotiations, which took into account the interests of all heirs to the greatest extent possible.

Lawsuit to have a will invalidated The client (the heir of an estate) came to lawyers because he suspected that the will drafted by the testator in favour of a third party had been forged. The specialists filed a lawsuit to have the last will be invalidated. A number of technical and handwriting expert reviews were conducted in course of the litigation process and irrefutable evidence was collected. As a result we won our client’s case.

Having a pre-nuptial contract invalidated, and dividing property After a marriage was dissolved, one of the spouses filed a lawsuit to have a pre-nuptial contract invalidated. The spouse believed that the terms and conditions of the contract imposed highly unfavourable conditions on the claimant. The claimant asked the court to divide the common property in equal shares. As a result of the thorough collection of evidence and successful negotiations with the other side, we managed to close the case by signing an amicable agreement on favourable terms and conditions for our Client.
