The amendments to the legislative acts of Ukraine on certain issues of disclosure of banking secrecy and measures to establish guardianship over the property of an individual declared missing or a person missing under special circumstances, No. 9235, are to be considered.  

The draft law was developed by the Ministry of Reintegration. The Government’s position was presented at the plenary session of the Verkhovna Rada on 23 May by Roman Usenko, Deputy Minister for TOT Reintegration.

The objective of the draft legislation is to establish a legislative framework for banks to disclose information that constitutes bank secrecy at the request of notaries to establish guardianship over the property of a missing person or a person who went missing under special circumstances.

In addition, notaries will be able to receive data on accounts, funds, movable property, etc.

This will ensure the rights of family members of such individuals are protected.
