Restoring Lithuanian Citizenship by Descent: Is Using a Lawyer Necessary?

When it comes to restoring Lithuanian citizenship by descent, many individuals find themselves grappling with the decision of whether to enlist the help of a lawyer. The process, while seemingly straightforward, can involve navigating complex legal and bureaucratic hurdles. At IN JURE Law Firm, we believe that while it is not strictly necessary to use a lawyer, having professional assistance can significantly enhance the ease and success of your application. Here’s why:

 

Understanding the Process

Restoring Lithuanian citizenship by descent involves several key steps:

1. Gathering Documentation: You have to collect documents proving your Lithuanian ancestry, such as birth, marriage, and death certificates of your Lithuanian ancestors.

 

Important Note:

While having original Lithuanian documents is helpful, it is not necessary for the application process. The availability of such supporting documents might be beneficial but is not a requirement. IN JURE Law firm can assist in gathering the necessary evidence to support your application even if you do not have original documents.

 

2. Verifying Authenticity: These documents must be verified for authenticity, often requiring translation and notarization.

 

3. Submitting the Application: The application, along with the necessary documents, must be submitted to the Migration Department or the Lithuanian consulate in your country.

While these steps are clear, the intricacies involved can vary from case to case, making the process more challenging for some applicants.

 

The Benefits of Professional Assistance

 

Expertise and Experience

Our team at IN JURE Law Firm has years of experience in handling Lithuanian citizenship applications. We understand the common pitfalls and challenges that applicants face and can help you avoid them. Our expertise ensures that your application is complete, accurate, and submitted in a timely manner.

 

Navigating Bureaucracy

The bureaucratic aspect of the application process can be daunting. Requirements may change, and the interpretation of laws can vary. Having a lawyer means you have someone who is up-to-date with the latest legal requirements and procedures, ensuring that your application adheres to current standards.

 

Language Barriers

Many of the documents required for the application may need to be translated into Lithuanian. Legal documents must be accurately translated to avoid misinterpretation. Our firm provides reliable translation services, ensuring that all your documents meet the necessary linguistic standards.

 

Personalized Support

Every applicant’s situation is unique. We provide personalized consultations to understand your specific circumstances and tailor our services to meet your needs. This personalized approach increases the likelihood of a successful application.

The DIY Approach

It is entirely possible to navigate the citizenship restoration process on your own, especially if you are comfortable with legal procedures and paperwork. Many individuals successfully obtain their citizenship without legal assistance. However, this requires meticulous attention to detail and a significant time investment.

 

Why you should use IN JURE Law firm services

Unlike other services where unexpected legal fees can quickly add up, our clients benefit from comprehensive support without incurring additional costs, even for legal proceedings required. Our clients do not pay extra for the working hours of our lawyers when they need to go to court. 

 

If a person attempts to regain citizenship with the help of someone else rather than a lawyer, they might still need to hire a lawyer during the process, which significantly increases their costs.
