A new twist in the fight for Agnė Jagelavičiūtė's legacy
A Lithuanian court has agreed to hear a cassation appeal regarding the estate of deceased stylist Agnė Jagelavičiūtė, amidst ongoing legal disputes involving her minor son.
The Lithuanian Supreme Court has decided to accept a cassation appeal from the limited liability company "Believe and Act" regarding a previous court ruling linked to the estate of the late stylist Agnė Jagelavičiūtė. The details regarding the hearing date are yet to be announced. This case has seen ongoing proceedings for several years, reflecting the complexities surrounding issues of inheritance and child custody following Jagelavičiūtė's death.
The cassation appeal seeks to overturn a December 2025 decision by the Vilnius Regional Court, requesting that a ruling from the Vilnius City District Court in June of the same year be upheld. The legal battle centers on the rights of Jagelavičiūtė's minor son, represented by his father, Mantas Volkaus, who has filed a lawsuit to prevent "Believe and Act" from engaging in what he describes as unlawful activities that threaten the estate's value and, by extension, the interests of the child.
This situation highlights the ongoing emotional turmoil within the family, particularly the access rights of Jagelavičiūtė's mother, N. Jagelavičienė, who has reportedly been barred from seeing her grandson for the past ten months. Tensions have been aggravated by accusations from the child’s father, who reportedly wishes for a complete severance of familial connections. The case exemplifies the broader societal challenges of inheritance law and custody issues in Lithuania, as it continues to unfold in the courts.
