Taking place online on 13 October 2026, from 10:00 to 12:30 (Brussels time), the webinar will provide a unique opportunity to explore how these instruments are applied in practice in cross-border situations and to exchange experiences between different legal professions.

The European Notarial Network is pleased to announce the publication of the new edition of the Handbook “Ukrainian Notariat Under the Conditions of the Russian Invasion.

First prepared in 2022, this Handbook has been significantly improved by a team of Ukrainian notaries — Tetiana Rachkova (ENN Ukrainian Interlocutor), Halyna Parusova and Yurii Orzikh. It provides a comprehensive overview of the functioning of the Ukrainian notariat under martial law and outlines the main legal and procedural developments affecting notarial practice since the start of the war.

The new edition includes the latest information on the performance of notarial acts under martial law, the recognition of documents across borders, and the regulation of family, inheritance, and property rights. It also provides practical guidance and digital tools to support European notaries assisting Ukrainian citizens in cross-border situations.

The publication is accessible to all interested readers wishing to better understand the current framework and practice of the Ukrainian notariat.
