Russian-Divorce International Office

We will be glad to handle any of these matters.

Karina Duvall acquired a deep knowledge of International Law at three Universities located in three different jurisdictions: at the Yaroslav the Wise National Law University (Kharkiv, Ukraine, 1995), the Law School at the St. Petersburg State University (Russia, 1997), and the Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University (New York, USA, 2021). She was taught by outstanding professors, such as Professor Ludmila Nikiforovna Galenskaya (St. Petersburg), Professor Juliana Campagna (New York), and many others.

In the summer of 2020, we opened a notary office in Brooklyn, New York. Our office serves people from Russia, Ukraine, the Republic of Uzbekistan, etc. Our notarial documents meet the highest standards and are unconditionally accepted everywhere. By power of attorney issued in our office, you can sell or buy an apartment, obtain inheritance, withdraw money from a bank account, obtain an individual tax number, restore registry office documents like birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce certificates, death certificates, and change of name certificates. Also, we can represent you in court, obtain a police clearance certificate, receive any documents from district and municipal courts, and represent you in state archives. You can notarize with us any statements, consents, or applications, including parental consent to travel overseas and much more. Our partners in other cities and countries will help you notarize any document in any jurisdiction. You do not have to contact the consulate anymore – having a properly executed document by an apostille, you can open any door.

Our main offices are located in St. Petersburg, Moscow, New York, Kyiv, and Tashkent. We also have partners in many other jurisdictions. This allows us to effectively resolve your legal issues within a reasonable time frame. We will represent you in any court and any other instances and institutions (registry office, tax authorities, notary bodies on issues of inheritance in your homeland, and much more).

Notary (USA)
I was born in Manhattan, in NYC, so not naturalized. The addition of a middle name was voluntary, not related to marriage or any other external impetus. Unfortunately, my mother passed away some time ago, so cannot advise me on this. I remember going to the court for the name change (addition of middle name), but I do not remember the exact year. I am fairly certain I was around 10 or 11 years old, which would have been 1968-69. This past week I went to the county and city clerk’s offices in Manhattan to try and find the record. They had me search through the old name change books from those periods (and several years before and after) – those records are not digitized. I did not see my name in those books, and they didn’t seem to have any other way of locating the record. They suggested I try Brooklyn, but I am pretty sure we went to a court in Manhattan, as I only lived in Manhattan until I left the city. We lived in various places in Manhattan when I was growing up – the most likely places are Cornelia St. in the Village, East 4th St. (in the East Village). Unfortunately, I don’t remember the exact street addresses, although I might be able to find out that information.

Greetings – I wrote a question on Avvo about a situation I am in with regard to my middle name. As a child I changed my name officially (with my mother's help) in the NYC court system (I believe this was in the late 60's or early 70's, but am not sure of the exact year/month). I recently went to the county and city courts (60 and 111 Centre St.) in Manhattan but could not find the record in their record books. The discrepancy has never been a problem for me before, but my brother and I are currently trying to sell property I inherited in Mexico, and our lawyers have cited this as a problem. It may not be insurmountable, but I am told it would be better if I can obtain some documentation of the name change. I was encouraged to hear that you are experienced with this kind of issue, and would like to learn more.

Hello Karina!

I am reaching out to you as we have buyers located in Brooklyn that are in need of a mobile notary that speaks Russian. They are aiming to close on either Friday or Monday. Would you be available to conduct this signing?

----

We unfortunately just got word that the buyer is now having to obtain financing with a new lender so the transaction is being postponed. I am keeping your contact information on file & will contact you as soon as the new closing date is established.


Thank you so much for your time & I look forward to speaking with you soon!
