Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a Cypriot will if I already have a will in another country?
If you hold assets in Cyprus, a local will can simplify probate and reduce conflict with foreign law. We coordinate multi-jurisdictional drafting so your documents work together.
How long does a divorce usually take in Cyprus?
Timelines vary based on whether the matter is contested and on court schedules. Uncontested cases can resolve much faster. We aim to settle key issues early to save time and costs.
What counts as “marital property” for division?
Generally, assets acquired during marriage form part of the matrimonial estate (with limited exceptions). We assess your asset profile and advise on contributions, valuations and equitable distribution.
Can we settle property and maintenance without going to court?
Yes. We frequently resolve matters through negotiation or mediation and formalise the agreement by consent order, avoiding lengthy litigation where possible.
How often should I update my will?
Review after major life events such as marriage, divorce, birth of a child, significant asset changes or at least every few years to ensure it still reflects your wishes and current law.
