During the period of martial law, the following shall apply to inheritance:
1) regarding the deadline for acceptance of inheritance. Generally, the deadline for acceptance of inheritance is six months from the date of the testator's death. However, during martial law and within two years from its cessation or cancellation, if the death of a person is registered later than one month from the date of death or the day on which they were declared dead, the corresponding deadlines will be calculated from the date of the state registration of the person's death.
2) regarding the place of opening of the inheritance case. During martial law and within six months from its cessation or cancellation, if the place of opening the inheritance is a settlement located in the territories not under the control of the Government of Ukraine, in the zone of active hostilities, or in an area where state authorities temporarily do not exercise or do not fully exercise their powers, all applications within the inheritance case, including the application on acceptance or refusal to accept the inheritance, are submitted regardless of the place of inheritance opening.
