Destroyed or damaged property is a daily headache for hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians due to Russian aggression and constant missile and drone attacks. And if in the event of destruction or damage to housing, people have the opportunity to use the «eRecovery» program, which has been in effect since 2023, then in situations when trouble befalls a car, you can only rely on yourself.

A netizen suggested that First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov do the service of drawing up a will at Diia, and he was surprised by such an idea. «I thought I couldn’t be surprised with ideas anymore,» the official wrote. dev.ua investigated whether such a service is needed in Ukraine and whether there is a practice of drawing up wills online in the world. Currently, the possibility of drawing up a will online depends on the legislation of a particular country, and in most countries of the world, including Ukraine, drawing up a will in a fully online format is not widespread or legally recognized. However, in some countries there are partially digital procedures or platforms that allow you to draw up a will online, but they usually still require notarization or another form of official confirmation.

Millions of Ukrainians live in housing that has been significantly damaged as a result of hostilities or enemy air attacks, and the number of such residential buildings is in the hundreds of thousands. The full-scale war is gradually approaching its fourth anniversary, and although the front line is moving incomparably slower than in the first years of full-scale, the problem of damaged housing is not becoming less acute, rather the opposite.
