Preliminary calculation under Article 1241 of the Civil Code of Ukraine

Base­line rule: the com­pul­so­ry share is half the share the person would have re­ceived under in­tes­tate suc­ces­sion.

It is prac­ti­cal to use the market value of assets after de­duct­ing obvious ex­pens­es, where sup­port­ed by ev­i­dence.

This is the basis for cal­cu­lat­ing one person’s statu­to­ry share in your in­her­i­tance order.

The cal­cu­la­tor does not verify these persons’ en­ti­tle­ment; it only cal­cu­lates the amount based on the number entered.

How to calculate the compulsory share

Under Article 1241 of the Civil Code of Ukraine, a person en­ti­tled to a com­pul­so­ry share in­her­its, re­gard­less of the will, half of the share they would have re­ceived under in­tes­tate suc­ces­sion.

First de­ter­mine one person’s ap­prox­i­mate statu­to­ry share in the rel­e­vant in­her­i­tance order, then take 1/2 of it. The cal­cu­la­tor does not resolve dis­putes about the com­po­si­tion of the heirs or review doc­u­ments.

Calculation methodology

Method­ol­o­gy for cal­cu­lat­ing the manda­to­ry share

  1. We iden­ti­fy the es­ti­mat­ed value of in­her­it­ed prop­er­ty entered by the user in the cal­cu­la­tor.

  2. We divide it by the number of heirs in the rel­e­vant statu­to­ry order.

  3. Use half of the statu­to­ry share for each person claim­ing a com­pul­so­ry share.

  4. We sep­a­rate­ly warn that the cal­cu­la­tor does not de­ter­mine an in­di­vid­ual’s en­ti­tle­ment or any pos­si­ble re­duc­tion of the share.

Example

Calculation example

Es­ti­mat­ed in­her­i­tance value in Lviv Region: UAH 1,200,000; 3 heirs in the rel­e­vant class, one claim­ing a com­pul­so­ry share.

  • In­her­i­tance value: UAH 1,200,000
  • Heirs by law: 3
  • Ap­pli­cants en­ti­tled to a com­pul­so­ry share: 1

One person’s statu­to­ry share: UAH 400,000; com­pul­so­ry share: UAH 200,000.

The exact dis­tri­b­u­tion depends on the estate, will, debts, and the par­tic­u­lar person’s en­ti­tle­ment.

What to check in the documents

  • The will, doc­u­ments proving family ties, and the order of in­her­i­tance.
  • The prop­er­ty val­u­a­tion, the de­ceased’s debts and doc­u­ments showing the estate com­po­si­tion.
  • Doc­u­ments proving the person’s right to a com­pul­so­ry share.
  • Cir­cum­stances that may support a court-ordered re­duc­tion of the share.

Frequently asked questions

Does the calculator determine who is entitled to a compulsory share?

No. It per­forms only arith­metic using the data entered. An in­di­vid­ual’s rights must be checked against the doc­u­ments and the Civil Code of Ukraine.

Why does the formula use exactly half of the statutory share?

This rule is ex­press­ly set out in Article 1241 of the Civil Code of Ukraine: the com­pul­so­ry share equals 1/2 of the share the person would have re­ceived under in­tes­tate suc­ces­sion.

Can a court reduce the calculated amount?

Yes. Article 1241 pro­vides that a court may reduce the com­pul­so­ry share in light of the re­la­tion­ship with the de­ceased and other ma­te­r­i­al cir­cum­stances.

Why is the remaining inheritance only an estimate?

Because the exact al­lo­ca­tion depends on the prop­er­ty, debts, heirs, will, ac­cep­tance of in­her­i­tance and pos­si­ble court de­ci­sions.
