Legal help from Moldova, wherever you live
Moldovan Lawyer for Clients Abroad and the Diaspora
Living outside Moldova but facing a legal matter connected to it? The Law Office of Attorney Bîrcă Ludmila in Chișinău works with everybody — no matter where you live or which citizenship you hold. Most matters are handled remotely, under a power of attorney, so you rarely need to travel.
I work with clients from any country — wherever you need a lawyer from Moldova.
Who I help: anyone who needs a lawyer from Moldova
This page is not limited to one country or community. I work with anyone who has a legal connection to the Republic of Moldova: members of the Moldovan diaspora anywhere in the world, foreign nationals and foreign companies dealing with Moldova, and people with any kind of cross-border link to the country.
What matters is your situation, not your passport or your address. Whether you need to obtain a document, claim an inheritance, sell property, recover a debt or set up a company in Moldova, you can reach me from Italy, the UK, Germany, the United States, Russia, Canada, Israel, Spain, the UAE or anywhere else.
- The Moldovan diaspora: citizens living abroad temporarily or permanently
- Foreign nationals who inherit, buy or litigate in Moldova
- Foreign companies investing, contracting or protecting their rights here
- Anyone with a cross-border connection to the Republic of Moldova
Services available remotely, with no travel on your part
Most legal steps in Moldova can be handled entirely at a distance, based on a power of attorney that lets me act on your behalf. These are the matters clients abroad ask about most often:
- Drafting and using a power of attorney (procură) so I can represent you in Moldova
- Obtaining documents and civil-status records (birth, marriage, death certificates) from Moldovan archives
- Inheritance and succession matters under the Civil Code of Moldova
- Real-estate transactions and disputes: sale, purchase, division, land-registry filings
- Representation in civil, commercial and other disputes before the courts
- Company formation and corporate matters for non-residents (Law no. 220/2007 on state registration)
- Debt recovery from individuals and companies in Moldova
- Residence, immigration and citizenship matters connected to Moldova (Law no. 200/2010 on the status of foreigners)
How remote work and the power of attorney function
The cornerstone of working remotely is the power of attorney — the document that authorizes me to act on your behalf in Moldova. There are several ways to create one, depending on where you live:
We start with scanned documents sent by email or messaging apps, so I can assess your situation and prepare the paperwork. Originals follow later by courier when they are needed. Consultations take place over WhatsApp, Viber or Zoom, in the Eastern European Time zone (EET).
- Power of attorney before a notary + apostille: valid for most countries (Hague Convention)
- A free power of attorney at a Moldovan consulate or embassy in your country
- For CIS / legal-assistance-treaty states (e.g. Russia and other former-USSR countries under the Minsk Convention): a Moldovan power of attorney is often recognized WITHOUT an apostille
- Scanned documents accepted to get started; originals by courier when required
- Video consultations and communication in Romanian, Russian and English
Working languages and confidentiality
I work in Romanian, Russian and English, so you can explain your situation exactly as you experience it, without a language barrier. All correspondence, documents and consultations take place in the language you prefer.
Everything you share with me is protected by attorney professional secrecy. Confidentiality is a strict ethical duty under Moldovan law and the Bar's Code of Conduct, and it applies regardless of the country you contact me from.
Transparency on fees
Fees are set individually, according to the complexity of the matter, the workload and the steps involved. For clients abroad I prefer clarity from the outset: we agree on how the work will be charged (a flat fee or by stage) before anything begins.
Any cost or timeline estimate given at the start is indicative and may vary with the specifics of your file and the processing times of public institutions. Payment can be made from abroad by bank transfer; we settle the details during the first consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions
In most cases, no. With a power of attorney I can act on your behalf in Moldova — before a notary, at public institutions, in archives or in court. We begin with scanned documents, and travel is rarely necessary.
