Our firm has extensive experience advising on wills, probate, and estate administration under Cyprus law. We also handle probate disputes through litigation. Our Private Client team provides expert guidance on drafting wills, navigating Cyprus probate law, and managing the administration of estates following a person’s death. We assist international personal representatives with the resealing of foreign grants of probate and the execution of those grants when assets are held in Cyprus.

While some estates follow a straightforward probate process, issues can sometimes arise. We advise heirs and administrators on their rights in situations where probate is delayed, suspected fraud or negligence occurs, beneficiaries are missing, assets are mismanaged, or there are disputes concerning the will. We are experienced in handling litigation for clients involved in estate-related disputes.

Additionally, we offer advice on asset protection through Trusts. We ensure the correct formation of trust deeds under Cyprus law, providing clear provisions that ensure the trust’s validity.
