A grandmother from the occupied area died

You need to get a court order establishing the fact of death. The application can be submitted to any local court of Ukraine that administers justice, regardless of the applicant's place of residence (stay). In the future, with the above-mentioned court decision, you can get a death certificate.

In order to inherit, you need to submit an application to a notary public. In conditions of war or a state of emergency, an inheritance case is established at the request of the applicant by any notary of Ukraine, regardless of the place of opening of the inheritance.
