This resolution amends the agenda of the thirteenth session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine of the ninth convocation, adding to it a draft Law of Ukraine concerning amendments to the Civil Code of Ukraine. In particular, the amendments concern Article 46, namely, Part Two, which defines the terms for declaring a natural person missing in connection with military actions or armed conflict as deceased by a court.
The structure of the resolution consists of two points: the first point includes the draft law (reg. No. 12451) in the agenda of the session, and the second point defines the date of entry into force of the resolution – from the moment of its adoption.
The most important provision is the inclusion in the agenda of a draft law that aims to change the terms for declaring a person missing during military actions as deceased. This may significantly affect the legal consequences for relatives of such persons, in particular, in matters of inheritance, social payments, and other legal procedures.
