What clients should know.
1. End-of-life and inheritance planning remains underdeveloped in Georgia compared to Western Europe — proactive, well-structured legal structuring is strongly advisable.
2. Georgian inheritance law follows statutory rules of succession in the absence of a valid will — these may not reflect the wishes of the deceased.
3. High-net-worth individuals operating internationally must consider the interaction of Georgian law with the laws of other relevant jurisdictions.
4. Family law proceedings in Georgia are handled by the District Courts — legal representation throughout the process is strongly recommended.
5. Asset protection structures must comply with Georgian law and should be established well in advance of any potential or foreseeable dispute or claim.
6. Confidentiality is a core principle of our personal legal practice — all matters are handled with absolute discretion.
