Remote legal assistance from the Republic of Moldova

Moldovan Lawyer for Clients in Ireland and Anywhere Else

I work with people all over the world, no matter where you live or which citizenship you hold. If you have a legal matter connected to the Republic of Moldova, I can help you remotely, with no need to travel to Chisinau. The Moldovan community in Ireland - in Dublin, Cork, Limerick and beyond - has grown considerably in recent years, and the same assistance is available to any client, in any country.

I work with clients from any country — wherever you need a lawyer from Moldova.

Who this page is for

I am an attorney in the Republic of Moldova with over 20 years in the legal field, a Master of Laws from Moldova State University (USM), and from 2006 to 2011 I served as a state specialist in consumer protection. I work in Romanian, Russian and English.

This page speaks first to Moldovans living in Ireland, but the message holds for everyone: I help clients from any country who need a lawyer from Moldova. Finding this page through an Ireland-related search does not mean my services are limited to that community - it is simply a starting point for the needs I most often see among people living far from home.

  • The Moldovan diaspora in Ireland and anywhere else
  • Foreign nationals and foreign companies with interests in Moldova
  • People who moved from the United Kingdom to Ireland after Brexit and still have open matters in Moldova

What I handle for clients in Ireland, remotely

Many procedures in Moldova do not require you to be physically present. These are the situations Moldovans in Ireland bring to me most often - but they apply to any client abroad:

  • Power of attorney to act on your behalf in Moldova
  • Obtaining civil-status records from Moldovan archives (birth, marriage, death certificates)
  • Inheritance and succession - accepting an estate, succession proceedings, division among heirs
  • Managing, renting out or selling property in Moldova
  • Representation in civil and commercial disputes and enforcement of decisions
  • Debt recovery from individuals or companies in Moldova
  • Company formation in Moldova for non-residents
  • Documents needed for pensions or the recognition of rights in Moldova

Power of attorney, apostille and translations

The most common question from clients in Ireland is how to resolve something in Moldova without taking time off work. In many cases the answer is a power of attorney: with a written authorization I can represent you before notaries, courts, authorities and public registers in Moldova.

A power of attorney can be signed in two ways: before a notary public in Ireland, followed by an apostille (Ireland is a party to the Hague Convention) and, where needed, an authorized translation into Romanian; or at a consular mission of the Republic of Moldova competent for Ireland. We decide the exact route - notary plus apostille, or the consular path - together at the consultation, based on the Moldovan procedure.

To get started I accept scanned documents; originals can follow later by courier. The scope of the document is tailored precisely to your goal, from a single transaction to general representation, so you sign a correct document the first time.

Property, succession and records from Moldova

For many Moldovans in Ireland, the strongest tie to home is still an apartment, a family house or a plot of land. I can take over the management of a property, prepare the paperwork for a sale or lease, and run checks at the real-estate register - all on the basis of a power of attorney.

In inheritance matters, I can assist you with accepting an estate within the legal deadline, with succession proceedings before a notary, and with dividing assets among heirs, including when they are spread across several countries. Deadlines matter, so it helps to talk early.

Often the first step in a case is obtaining a record from the Moldovan archives - a birth, marriage or death certificate - needed either for a procedure in Moldova or for the Irish authorities. I can request and collect these records, prepare them for apostille, and send them to you.

How working together looks

Everything begins with a remote consultation by WhatsApp, Viber or Zoom, at a time that suits Ireland. Please note I work in the Eastern European Time zone (EET), roughly two hours ahead of Irish time.

Once I understand your situation, I explain the steps, the documents required, and an indicative estimate of time and cost. Any figures for state fees and legal fees are always indicative and confirmed according to the specifics of your case.

We communicate in Romanian, Russian or English, whichever you prefer. Initial documents can be scanned, with originals arriving by courier when a procedure requires them. Everything you entrust to me is protected by attorney-client confidentiality.
