Inheritance in Ukraine: what relatives will not be able to receive

Inheritance in Ukraine is the process of transferring property rights and obligations from the deceased to their heirs according to the will or law. However, not all property can be inherited in 2025, as reported by Novosti.Live.

Heirs can be living persons at the time of opening the inheritance, as well as those who were conceived during the lifetime of the deceased and were born after their death. The inheritance includes all rights and obligations of the deceased that did not cease with their death, such as monetary savings, real estate, and other material values, as well as some property rights.

According to Article 1219 of the Civil Code of Ukraine, rights and obligations related to the personality of the deceased are not included in the inheritance. These include:

• personal non-property rights
• the right to compensation for harm caused by bodily injury
• the right to receive pensions, alimony, social payments or other payments provided by law
• certain debt obligations or rights as a creditor, if they cease upon the person's death (according to Article 608 of the Civil Code of Ukraine)

Additionally, the right to participate in societies or membership in associations or organizations is not subject to inheritance, unless otherwise provided by law or the statutes of the relevant structures. Knowledge of these features will help heirs better understand their rights and avoid mistakes in the inheritance process.

Summary: the article addresses the issue of inheritance in Ukraine, indicating that in addition to material values, there are certain rights and obligations that cannot be inherited, such as personal non-property rights and some financial obligations. This is important to know to avoid misunderstandings in the inheritance process.
