Advice on probate rules and procedures in the UK, Switzerland and Russia.
Our client, a UK resident, suddenly learned of the death of a close relative who was living in Russia. The deceased was a wealthy individual who had significant amounts of money left in his Russian and foreign bank accounts as a deceased estate. The deceased also held a controlling interest in several companies operating in Russia and UK. In accordance with the will, our client was entitled to a significant portion of the deceased's estate.
Our experts were involved in preparing a comprehensive strategy (coordination) for the client's inheritance, considering the legal specifics and tax consequences in Russia and the UK, analysing corporate documents and companies inherited by the client, and building tactics of relations with other heirs and other shareholders of inherited companies. During the project we worked closely with our partner law firms in Russia and the UK.
