As a result of hostilities, the house was destroyed, but because of the war, they did not have time to issue the inheritance. Not all heirs are in Ukraine, some have left as refugees to the EU and we cannot process the inheritance. Is it possible to receive compensation and rebuild the house without registration of inheritance, according to the documents of the deceased?
Is it possible to get compensation for destroyed property that was not inherited?

In accordance with clause 2 of the Procedure for submitting an information notice about damaged and destroyed immovable property as a result of hostilities, acts of terrorism, sabotage caused by the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, the effect of this Procedure applies to individuals and legal entities whose immovable property was destroyed or damaged as a result of hostilities, acts of terrorism, sabotage caused by the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, namely, including natural persons who are the owners of the relevant real estate or construction customers for construction objects.
Therefore, in order to be reimbursed by the state for damages for destroyed property, you must be the owner of such property.
In addition, I would like to inform you that an heir living abroad can write a statement on acceptance of inheritance, certifying the authenticity of the signature notarized (possibly at the consulate of Ukraine) and send it by postal means to a notary located on the territory of Ukraine.
Importantly! You must process the inheritance within six months of the testator's death.
