Civil law

We live, not only in the European Union, in a globalized world. But especially in the European Union it has been rather a rule than an exception to live, work, marry or even inherit in another EU Member State. The same applies since 2007 for Romania. It is more often that citizens of other states move to Romania for longer or shorter timespans be this for personal or job-related reasons. Counselling civil law, Brasov, Romania

  • Because of this, it is more often that questions are raised with regard to Romanian Family Law, Property Law or Inheritance Law.
  • Over the years we have counselled or represented, for example, many foreign citizens with regard to family-related matters. In many cases the desire or need arises to file for a divorce in Romania. Divorce can be an unpleasant procedure anyway, even when no cross border complications are added. Having to initiate the procedure abroad can be an additional stress-factor, due to the fact that the regulations regarding divorce procedures or child care are unknown. With appropriate legal counselling we can relieve you of this stress-factor.
  • It can also be that you have borrowed money to a Romanian citizen or to a person of another nationality that has moved meanwhile to Romania. In many cases sending a written reminder of an overdue account, sometimes followed by an arbitration procedure, helps. If this doesn’t solve your problem, we can draft and lodge the appropriate bill of complaint and also represent you before the competent Court of Law.
  • In this connection questions regarding Inheritance Law arise more often. This is also an area where we can provide you with legal advice or represent you in front of the competent Notary Public or Court of Law.
  • Similarly to companies, we can also support private persons when wanting to purchase real estate in Romania, by checking the legal status of the desired property and drafting the purchase documents.
