• Appeal of an annuity decision;
• The issue of survivor benefits for a deceased spouse;

Re. 6 On business and commercial law:

• consequences of an incorrectly filed application to the National Court Register and its return

Of the cases handled by the Intervention and Advice Bureau, the first time a party came forward with a commercial law case. The issue concerned an incorrect application for entry in the National Court Register.

The Court of Register has two options:

• may issue an order calling for removal of formal defects if they are removable, e.g. failure to submit a document other than KRS forms;
• may issue an order to return the application when the forms are incorrectly completed or the entry fee has not been paid;

In the case at hand, both of the above cases occurred, so the Court ordered the application to be returned. If the party had come forward within a week from the date of receipt of the application, the deficiencies could have been remedied, but even failure to remedy them within that period does not close the way to registration. If the documents have not yet been returned by the Court (since the order of return is not equivalent to the return of the documents), you can again complete the appropriate forms and make up the deficiencies, and then, referring to the file reference and the outstanding documents and fee in the case file, resubmit the application.

People come to the Office of Intervention and Counseling, often wanting help with their behavior.

A reserved portion is a statutory form of protecting the interests of the closest legal heirs against an adverse disposition of the testator in the event of death. The closest persons to the testator entitled to a reserved portion of the estate are the testator's descendants, spouse and parents. As a rule, a person is entitled to a reserved portion equal to half of the inheritance share that would fall to him/her in the case of a statutory succession. However, if the beneficiary is permanently incapacitated or if the beneficiary's descendant is a minor, the amount of the reserved portion is two-thirds of the value of such share.

In September, the number of counseling sessions once again exceeded 50. The problems discussed at the Bureau are varied, including for the first time the issue of commercial law, which indicates that information about the Bureau's activities is reaching more and more people.
