Answers to questions

How does communication with clients work at your office?
We agree in advance on your preferred channels (phone, email, WhatsApp) and commit to updating you proactively after every significant development in the case. You will never have to chase us — we will keep you posted on every development. It matters to me that you always feel in the picture, confident and calm that someone is looking after your affairs devotedly.
My siblings and I inherited a property together, but we cannot agree what to do with it. What are our options?
This is a very familiar family and legal situation, and it can create real tension. The good news is that there are solutions. The first option is to reach agreement through mediation — one heir buys out the others' shares, or you sell the property together and divide the proceeds. If agreement cannot be reached, the law allows applying to the court for partnership dissolution. Our goal in such a case is to ensure the process runs as efficiently and respectfully as possible, while protecting your rights and maximizing your financial return.
I want to transfer my apartment to my children during my lifetime to save them inheritance tax. Is that a good idea?
An intergenerational transfer is a move with significant consequences. On the one hand, it can settle the division of property in advance. On the other, you may lose control of your principal asset and be exposed to risks (for example, if your child falls into debt). Tax aspects must also be examined in depth, since such a transfer may trigger capital-gains or purchase tax. Before making so dramatic a decision, it is essential to get legal advice where together we weigh all the advantages, drawbacks and alternatives — such as drafting a precise will or registering a cautionary note in your favor.
I am about to buy an apartment. The seller seems trustworthy and the contract looks standard. Do I really need a lawyer?
A real-estate transaction is probably the largest and most complex deal you will ever make. There is no such thing as a “standard” contract, and every deal hides risks: from checking the land-registry record, through building rights and violations, to complex tax questions. My role as your lawyer is to be your gatekeeper — to check every detail, negotiate the critical clauses that protect you, and make sure your rights in the property are lawfully registered. Waiving legal representation is an expensive gamble that can cost you far more than the fee.
We are a couple in a second marriage, and we both have children from previous marriages. How can we make sure our property is divided as we wish after we die?
In a blended family, a mutual will is an essential tool. Without a will, the Inheritance Law divides your property between the surviving spouse and your children — often producing an outcome you never intended and leading to bitter disputes. With a precise will we can set mechanisms such as “heir after heir”, ensuring the surviving spouse can keep living in the shared home, while after their passing the property returns to your children.
I worry not only about the legal outcome, but about the emotional toll and stress of the process. How does your office help with that?
I believe a good lawyer is not just a professional but a human being. That is why an inseparable part of our service is being available for you, listening to your concerns, and explaining every stage of the process in clear, simple language. We are also committed to full transparency — you will always know the chances, the risks and the options before you. Our goal is to lift as much of the burden off you as possible, and let you get on with your life knowing someone strong and experienced is fighting for you and guarding your interests.
How much do you charge per case?
Transparency is a supreme value for me. At the outset we sit together and define, clearly and in detail, the fee model that fits your case. Whether hourly, fixed-price or success-based — everything is set out in an orderly agreement, with no fine print. There will be no surprises. The goal is that you feel comfortable and know exactly what you are getting into.
I have heard about a “continuing power of attorney”. What is it, and do I really need one in addition to a will?
Absolutely. If a will settles what happens to your property after your death, a continuing power of attorney determines who will make decisions for you during your lifetime, should you, heaven forbid, be unable to do so yourselves (for example due to dementia or an accident). It is a document that lets you choose people you trust to handle your medical and financial affairs, and set clear instructions for how you want your life managed. It is an essential tool that ensures your dignity, wishes and independence are preserved in every situation.
