Good day! My grandfather had 4 daughters. A few days ago, my mother and I learned that my great-aunt from America, when she was alive, left an inheritance to all her relatives from Ukraine. My question: How do I find out if my grandfather received an inheritance? The aunts do not say anything and keep everything quiet as they have been living with him for the last few years. Thanks in advance.

In accordance with the Methodological recommendations for the performance of notarial actions related to the adoption of measures to protect inherited property, the issuance of certificates of the right to inheritance and certificates of the right of ownership of shares in the common property of spouses, published on the official website of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, a notary public, who received a notification about the opening of the inheritance, is obliged to notify about it those heirs whose place of residence or work is known to him. The notary can also summon the heirs by means of a public announcement or notice in the press.
Therefore, if an aunt from America left part of the inheritance to your grandfather, he would be informed.
