Inheritance matters in Poland
Receiving an inheritance from a loved one in Poland often involves going through complicated and confusing official procedures. As a Polish advocate, I help Swedish private clients smoothly handle all inheritance matters across the country. I handle proceedings to formally establish inheritance acquisition, help determine the composition of the estate, and represent you in matters concerning forced heirship. I make sure the process is handled efficiently and with full respect for your rights.
You don’t have to come to Poland if it’s not necessary to attend court hearings or visits to the notary. I represent your interests in the country under a power of attorney. I collect the necessary documents and get in touch with the other heirs. I also help in obtaining and translating documents from Swedish authorities (e.g., Skatteverket). I make sure the Polish court receives a complete set of procedural documents.
I provide you with full legal support and ongoing contact at every stage of handling an inheritance case. I explain the differences between Polish and Swedish inheritance law. I help you avoid unnecessary costs and mistakes. My goal is to resolve your inheritance and property-related matters in Poland as clearly and efficiently as possible.
Property division and cross-border family matters
Division of inherited property or financial settlements after a divorce are some of the toughest issues my clients face. I help private individuals living in Sweden with amicable or court-related division of real estate, savings, and other assets left in Poland. As a court mediator, I mainly focus on reaching an amicable settlement between family members to avoid long, extremely expensive, and emotionally draining court battles. If a settlement isn’t possible, I provide strong and professional representation before Polish common courts, protecting your interests in the division of joint property. My services also cover cross-border alimony cases and child contact arrangements, where navigating the complex EU and international rules is key.
I also support you in dealing with Polish civil registry offices. I help with the registration of Swedish birth, marriage, or death certificates (transcription). I handle every family matter with the utmost discretion, empathy, and full understanding of your personal situation. I look for solutions that will secure your financial future for the long term.
