What does the inheritance law say?

Required documents

Depending on life situations, the following types of documents may be required:

  • refusal of other heirs to inherit;
  • extract from the house register;

  • documents on inventory, market or cadastral value property.

  • report on the market price of a vehicle.

How to register

The process of registering an inheritance can be divided into the following stages:

  1. Acceptance of inheritance. Can be done in several ways:
    • By application to a notary. According to the new rules of “Inheritance Without Borders,” a citizen has the right to independently contact a notary of his choice. The notary checks information about the availability of a record of opening a notary deed and other notaries through the Unified Information System for Notaries in Russia. In the absence of such a record, he starts an inheritance case. This procedure eliminates duplication of inheritance cases, and if there is already an open case, any notary will direct other heirs to the desired notary office.
    • By actually accepting the property of the deceased. As a rule, this method is applicable if the heirs are not familiar with the legal procedure for entering into an inheritance, but they actually accept it, for example, they take the things of the deceased, pay public utilities for housing that belonged to the testator, etc. In this case, citizens who have not formalized the inheritance will need to file a claim with the judicial authorities. It is possible to avoid the proceedings if there are no other heirs, or if citizens who have already entered into the inheritance agree to restore the deadline for entry for the heir who missed the registration of the property.
  2. Collection of certificates and documents (the list will be indicated by the notary).
  3. Opening an inheritance case and issuing a certificate of inheritance.

Order of priority

The order of inheritance is systematized by law according to the degree of relationship with the deceased. The basic rule is this: the right to inherit arises for each subsequent line only if there are no heirs from the previous one.

Queues of heirs:

If there are no heirs of all the listed orders, then the property can be inherited by the disabled dependents of the deceased, and in their absence - by the state (escheat property)

Payment of taxes

Tax legislation of the Russian Federation does not provide for the collection.

However, when entering into an inheritance, citizens in 2019 will need to pay the so-called notary fee, the amount of which varies for certain categories of heirs:

The collection of the above tariffs is provided for by the Tax Code of the Russian Federation and is carried out for the registration of an inheritance and the issuance of a certificate (both by law and by will).

A citizen who has registered the transfer of rights to it in Rosreestr becomes its full owner and from that moment begins to bear the burden of maintaining his property, which includes, among other things, payment of taxes and other obligatory payments (citizen property tax, transport tax, sales tax real estate etc.).

Drawing up a certificate

A certificate of inheritance is an official document issued by a notary at the request of the heir and confirming his rights to the inherited property.

The legislation does not define the period when the applicant must receive the specified certificate. The state gives him the right to do this at any time after the deadline for issuance. of this document(Article 1163 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

    Inheritance of a non-privatized apartment

    A non-privatized apartment cannot be the object of inheritance, since it does not belong to the testator.

    But heirs can claim to the testator's non-privatized apartment.

    • The testator decided to privatize the apartment and submitted an application for this before his death.
    • Collected and submitted the documents necessary for privatization of the apartment.
    • He did not change his decision and did not withdraw his application for privatization.

    Only if these conditions are met, the heirs can demand the inclusion of the specified living space in the inheritance through the court on the basis of paragraph 8 of the Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of August 24, 1993 No. 8.

    On some issues of application of the Law by courts Russian Federation"On the privatization of the housing stock in the Russian Federation" (as amended by resolutions of the Plenum of December 21, 1993 No. 11 and of October 25, 1996 No. 10, with amendments and additions made by resolutions of the Plenum of February 6, 2007 No. 6 and of July 2, 2009 No. 14)

    Considering that when applying the Law of the Russian Federation of July 4, 1991 “On the privatization of housing stock in the Russian Federation” (as amended, introduced by the Law Russian Federation dated December 23, 1992 No. 4199-1, Federal laws dated August 11, 1994 No. 26-FZ, dated March 28, 1998 No. 50-FZ, dated May 1, 1999 No. 88-FZ, dated May 15 2001 No. 54-FZ, dated May 20, 2002 No. 55-FZ, dated November 26, 2002 No. 153-FZ, dated June 29, 2004 No. 58-FZ, dated August 22, 2004 No. 122- Federal Law and dated December 29, 2004 No. 189-FZ) the courts have questions that require resolution, Plenum Supreme Court The Russian Federation decides to provide the following clarifications to the courts:

    1. In accordance with Article 22 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation and Part 3 of Article 8 of the Law of the Russian Federation “On the privatization of housing stock in the Russian Federation,” the courts have jurisdiction over cases arising in connection with the implementation and protection of the rights of citizens during the privatization of residential premises occupied by them (in including reserved ones) in the state and municipal housing stock, including departmental housing stock (housing stock under the full economic control of enterprises or the operational management of institutions).

    2. Considering that in connection with the refusal to privatize the residential premises occupied by a citizen between him and the local administration, the enterprise to which he is assigned with the right of full economic management, or the institution to whose operational management the housing stock is transferred, a dispute arises about civil law, he resolved by the court according to the rules of claim proceedings.

    Since in this case the subject of the dispute is property that is not subject to assessment when it is transferred into the ownership of citizens through free privatization, the state duty when filing such applications should be charged in the amount provided for in subparagraph 3 of paragraph 1 of Art. 33319 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation for claims not subject to assessment.

    Statements of claim by persons applying for privatized residential premises on the grounds that this premises belonged to the testator, including in cases where privatization was not properly formalized during the life of the testator, are paid with a state fee based on the actual value of the premises about which the dispute arose. determined at the time of filing the claim (subparagraph 1 of paragraph 1 of Article 33319 of the said Code).

    3. In accordance with Article 2 of the Law of the Russian Federation “On the privatization of housing stock in the Russian Federation”, only citizens occupying residential premises under a contract have the right to free privatization of housing social hiring in the state and municipal housing stock, including departmental housing stock, sold under the conditions provided for by the said Law, other regulations Russian Federation and constituent entities of the Russian Federation." However, if the procedure for the privatization of housing established by other acts contradicts the above Law, including if it was adopted in excess of the powers of the bodies that issued such an act, it is necessary to be guided by the provisions of this Law.

    4. When deciding the legality of refusal to privatize residential premises located in the departmental housing stock, it is necessary to take into account that in accordance with Article 18 of the Law of the Russian Federation “On the privatization of housing stock in the Russian Federation” (as amended by the Law of the Russian Federation of December 23, 1992 d.) transition of state and municipal enterprises into another form of ownership or their liquidation do not affect the housing rights of citizens living in the houses of such enterprises and institutions, including the right to free privatization of housing.

    A citizen cannot be denied privatization of residential premises in the houses of these enterprises and institutions even if a change in the form of ownership or liquidation of enterprises and institutions took place before the entry into force of Article 18 of the said Law (as amended by the Law of December 23, 1992). , since the legislation in force until that time, regulating the conditions and procedure for changing the form of ownership of state and municipal enterprises and institutions, did not concern the issues of privatization of their housing stock, and the legislation regulating the privatization of the housing stock did not establish conditions that would deprive a citizen of the right in these cases to obtain ownership of the occupied residential premises. This provision should not apply if the legal successors who changed the form of ownership of state and municipal enterprises and institutions at their own expense built or purchased an uninhabited residential premises, which subsequently became the subject of a privatization dispute, including after the entry into force of Article 18 of the Law of the Russian Federation “ On the privatization of housing stock in the Russian Federation" (as amended by the Law of December 23, 1992).

    5. Citizens’ demands for the free transfer of residential premises into the common ownership of all persons living in it or into the ownership of one or some of them (in accordance with an agreement reached between these persons) are subject to satisfaction regardless of the will of the persons who are charged by law with the obligation to transfer housing into the property of citizens, since Article 2 of the Law of the Russian Federation “On the privatization of the housing stock in the Russian Federation” gave citizens occupying residential premises in houses of the state and municipal housing stock under a social tenancy agreement the right, with the consent of all adult family members living and living with by minors aged 14 to 18 years, purchase these premises into common ownership (shared or joint). At the same time, citizens who have expressed their consent to the acquisition of occupied premises by other persons living with them retain the right to free acquisition of ownership in the manner of privatization of another subsequently acquired residential premises, since in this case the opportunity granted to these persons by Article 11 of the said Law to privatize freely occupied residential premises the premises were not sold only once when giving consent to the privatization of housing by other persons.

    6. If a dispute arises regarding the legality of an agreement for the transfer of residential premises, including the ownership of one of its users, this agreement, as well as the certificate of ownership at the request of interested parties, may be declared invalid by the court on the grounds established by civil law for declaring the transaction invalid.

    7. Since minors living together with the tenant and who are members of his family or former family members, according to Article 69 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, have equal rights arising from the rental agreement, in the event of free privatization of the occupied premises, they, on an equal basis with adult users, have the right to become participants common ownership of this premises.

    Considering that in accordance with Articles 28, 37 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the guardian does not have the right, without the prior permission of the guardianship and trusteeship authorities, to carry out certain transactions, including those entailing the renunciation of the rights belonging to the ward, and the trustee to give consent to such transactions, refusal participation in privatization can be carried out by parents and adoptive parents of minors, as well as their guardians and trustees only with permission from the above authorities.

    8. Based on the meaning of the preamble and Articles 1 and 2 of the Law of the Russian Federation "On the privatization of housing stock in the Russian Federation", citizens cannot be denied privatization of the residential premises they occupy on the terms provided for by this Law if they have made such a demand .

    It is necessary to take into account that compliance with the procedure for registering the transfer of housing established by Articles 7 and 8 of the said Law is mandatory both for citizens and for officials who are entrusted with the responsibility for transferring residential premises in the state and municipal housing stock into the ownership of citizens ( in particular, the issue of privatization must be resolved within two months, an agreement for the transfer of housing into ownership must be concluded, ownership rights are subject to state registration in the Unified State Register of Rights to Real Estate and Transactions with It by Justice Institutions, from the time of which the citizen’s right of ownership to residential premises arises).

    However, if the citizen who submitted the application for privatization and the necessary documents for this died before the execution of the contract for the transfer of residential premises into ownership or before the state registration of property rights, then in the event of a dispute regarding the inclusion of this residential premises or part of it in the inheritance estate, it is necessary to keep in mind that this circumstance in itself cannot serve as a basis for refusing to satisfy the heir’s claim if the testator, having expressed his will during his lifetime to privatize the occupied residential premises, did not withdraw his application, since for reasons beyond his control he was deprived of the opportunity comply with all the rules for processing documents for privatization, which he could not be denied.

    9. Citizens who have become owners of privatized residential premises have the right to own, use and dispose of it at their own discretion, without violating the rights and legally protected interests of other persons (Article 30 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation and Article 209 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

    10. The sale by one of the participants in the common shared ownership of a privatized apartment of his share to an outsider is possible only if the remaining co-owners refuse to exercise the right pre-emption or will not exercise this right within the period provided for in Article 250 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.

    11. According to Articles 246, 253 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, exchange (exchange) of residential premises transferred through privatization into the common ownership of citizens is possible only with the consent of all participants in the common property.

    12.

In the absence of such a possibility, the court has the right, at the request of the plaintiff, to determine the procedure for using the apartment.

    Who can inherit a non-privatized apartment?

    Only those heirs who lived in it with the testator can inherit a non-privatized apartment. After death, the testator needs to conclude a social tenancy agreement and privatize it.

    Inheritance of a privatized apartment

    Inheritance privatized apartment possibly after the death of the owner. There are two ways to obtain an apartment - by law and by will.

    Inheritance by law

    Inheritance by law means that the testator did not leave a will and the inheritance is received by the next-in-line heirs.

    If an apartment was privatized by two spouses, then such real estate is common property, the share of each spouse is equal to 1/2. After the death of one of the spouses, half of the living space is the personal property of the second spouse. And the other half is inherited by the heirs of the first line. In this case, the second spouse, being the heir of the first stage, shares the second part of the apartment equally with other heirs of the first stage.

    If an apartment was privatized by one of the spouses (the second spouse refused to privatize), then such real estate is the personal property of the privatizing spouse.

    In this case, the inherited apartment is divided among the first-line heirs on equal terms. The second spouse receives his share of the property the same as all other heirs.

    Inheritance by will

    A will allows the testator to leave the apartment after death to a specific person or group of people to whom he sees fit. At the same time, the owner of the apartment can draw up a will not only for relatives, but also for a complete stranger.

    The will is drawn up and certified by a notary. A will can be changed as many times as necessary during the life of the testator.

    The right to an obligatory share in the inheritance

    There are categories of citizens who receive 1/2 of the inheritance of what would have been due to them without a will, regardless of the fact that the will was not written in their name. These are the following categories of citizens:

    • Minor or disabled children of the testator.
    • Disabled spouse and parents.
    • Disabled dependents of the testator (eighth stage of heirs).

    Civil Code of the Russian Federation Chapter 63 Article 1149 “The right to an obligatory share in the inheritance.”

    1. Minor or disabled children of the testator, his disabled spouse and parents, as well as disabled dependents of the testator, who are subject to being called to inherit on the basis of paragraphs 1 and 2 of Article 1148 of this Code, inherit, regardless of the contents of the will, at least half of the share that would be due to each of them when inheriting by law (mandatory share).

    2. The right to an obligatory share in an inheritance is satisfied from the remaining untested part of the inheritance property, even if this leads to a reduction in the rights of other heirs under the law to this part of the property, and if the untested part of the property is insufficient to exercise the right to an obligatory share, from that part of the property which is bequeathed.

    3. The obligatory share includes everything that the heir entitled to such a share receives from the inheritance for any reason, including the cost of the testamentary disclaimer established in favor of such heir.

    4. If the exercise of the right to an obligatory share in the inheritance entails the impossibility of transferring to the heir under the will property that the heir entitled to the obligatory share did not use during the life of the testator, but the heir under the will used for living (a residential building, an apartment, other residential premises, dacha, etc.) or used as the main source of livelihood (tools, creative workshop, etc.), the court may, taking into account the property status of the heirs entitled to the obligatory share, reduce the size of the obligatory share or refuse it award.

    Contesting a will

    A will can be challenged in court if there are violations of the legal rights or interests of the interested party.

    Inheritance of shares of a privatized apartment

    If after the death of the testator there is no will, then the property is divided among the heirs of the same order in equal shares. Heirs of a lower order do not participate in the division if there are heirs of a higher order.

    The heir may renounce his share in favor of another heir or sell it to him. A renunciation of a share of the inheritance, certified by a notary, cannot be returned. That is, by giving up a share in the apartment, the heir does it once and for all.

    You must register your share of the inheritance within 6 months after the death of the testator.

    If the deadline is missed, or the heirs cannot come to an agreement on the shares due, the shares will be determined by a court decision.

    What regulates

    The hierarchy of legal acts of the Russian Federation is headed by the Constitution. The most important document of the state does not directly concern the inheritance procedure, but enshrines the fundamental rights of citizens associated, among other things, with this process.

    The procedure for accepting an inheritance is directly considered by the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, and issues of taxation, fees, duties and benefits are regulated by the Tax Code of Russia.

    The actions of notaries during the registration procedure are provided for by the law “Fundamentals of the legislation of the Russian Federation on notaries.”

    More highly specialized issues that are not considered by civil law are additionally regulated by decisions of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation.

    Purpose

    The legislation is designed to streamline the process of receiving property by heirs, provide for possible options for accepting property and provide maximum assistance in resolving disputes that arise between successors.

    The provisions of the laws protect the rights and interests of heirs, establish the necessary, determine the actions of officials in the inheritance process and the size of shares due to various categories of persons.

    Basic laws on inheritance of the Russian Federation in 2019

    The main regulations governing inheritance issues in Russian state, are the Constitution, Civil, Tax and Family Codes of the Russian Federation. Other departmental orders and regulations supplement the basic provisions set out in the basic laws.

    Queues

    Registration of inheritance can be made or. If the testator drew up a testamentary document, then the inheritance is divided among the successors indicated in it. In the absence of a will, inheritance is carried out in the order of relatives established by law.

    In total, the Civil Code provides for seven lines of relatives, the degree of closeness of which is determined by the number of births separating the successor from the testator.

    Regulations of the Civil Code

    Every heir needs to know the provisions of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation regarding inheritance issues.

    Based on the content of this regulatory legal act, we can decide on the following questions:

    • what are the grounds for the emergence of the right of inheritance;
    • what categories of individuals and legal entities can be involved in inheritance;
    • how many lines of inheritance exist, which relatives belong to them;
    • which ones exist;
    • is it possible to refuse inherited property;
    • how to inherit from illegal encroachments of third parties;
    • what are the violations of the rules of inheritance, what are their consequences;
    • who may be deprived of the right to inherit;
    • what exist, the consequences of missing them and the possibility of recovery.

    What innovations were adopted

    Previously, in civil legislation there was uncertainty regarding the issue of the heir’s refusal of his own share of the inheritance.

    Thus, ambiguities remained regarding a person’s renunciation of property in favor of other heirs.

    In addition, in 2019 the government introduced new bill, the provisions of which can radically change some aspects of the inheritance process. On at the moment The project is still being considered, but if adopted, the following innovations may appear:

    • document - an inheritance agreement, based on the provisions of which an individual heir can receive his share;
    • creation of an inheritance fund;
    • implementation of a will, which can be written jointly by a married couple;
    • introduction of a single cost for the services of notary specialists in the registration of inheritance cases;
    • the possibility of notaries issuing combined certificates of the rights of heirs, which will include several persons at once.

    At the time of death, each person most often owns various types of property by right of ownership. Regardless of the number (volume) of movable and immovable things, owned by the owner, the face wants to leave it in inheritance to the worthy.

    Express your last wish testator maybe with the help wills. It can be drawn up for various reasons, for example, if the testator does not want his property to be taken over relatives in order of priority, enshrined in the legislation of the Russian Federation.

    In addition, you can bequeath an apartment not only (), but also to a stranger. The main thing at the time of drawing up this document is to be in a sober mind and to be completely capable to give an account of your actions.

    In addition, when drawing up a will, you must remember obligatory share in inheritance. Disabled children, parents and spouses, as well as dependents, are entitled to it. These persons will receive a part of the inheritance regardless of their mention in the document stating the last will.

    Right of inheritance of adopted children

    Since adopted children are equal in rights and responsibilities to blood children, then they will be the heirs of the first stage.

    Inheritance of an apartment after the death of parents

    After the death of parents, the inheritance should join their children and parents. As already noted, in the absence of a will, the apartment will be divided between these heirs in equal shares.

    A child has the right to inherit even when the parents were deprived of parental rights.

    Besides, children from previous marriages inherit equally with children from the current (last) marriage. Moreover, if they have not reached the age of majority, then they have the right to an obligatory share in the inheritance, even if a will has been drawn up.

    Inheritance of an apartment after the death of a spouse

    In the event of the death of one of the spouses, surviving spouse has the right to inherit an apartment acquired jointly. However, it is first necessary to highlight spousal share in inheritance. She is in accordance with family law is 50%, that is, half of the apartment. This share is the property of the surviving husband or wife.

    Next the remaining half of the estate(it is she who will be included in the inheritance mass) will already be divided among the heirs of the first stage (if there are any). If they are not there or they write a refusal to accept the inheritance from the notary, then the share of the deceased will pass entirely to the surviving spouse.

    When to enter into inheritance rights after death?

    The period for entering into inheritance is 6 months. is calculated from the date of opening of the inheritance (clause 1 of Article 1154 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). This is the so-called total term. By general rule, within six months after the death of the testator, persons who may be heirs both by law and by will, at the place of residence of the deceased, submit an application to the notary on their own behalf to accept the inheritance.

    For opening an inheritance case and the entry into their rights, the heirs also need to collect documents requested by the notary. Further, after the expiration of the period for accepting the inheritance, the heirs have the right to inherit at any time.

    • If the citizen was declared dead, the inheritance is considered open from the date of entry into force of the court decision.
    • If the court day of death of a missing person (clause 3 of Article 45 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation) is recognized the day of his supposed death, then the day of opening of the inheritance is recognized as the day and moment of death specified in the court decision.

    In both cases, the inheritance must also be accepted for total term inheritance.

    Special types of deadlines apply under the following circumstances:

    • If inheritance not accepted by other heirs, then it is accepted within 3 months by heirs of another line or other persons who have the right of inheritance in this case.
    • Other persons have the right to claim the inheritance within 6 months, if other heirs abandoned him or were removed as unworthy.

    The period begins to expire from the next day after the date of refusal or removal of the heir.

    How to inherit an apartment

    The moment of opening of the inheritance is the date of death of the testator. As stated above, heirs have a six-month period to submit documents to enter into inheritance rights.

    After its expiration, in the absence of heirs of 7 stages, the apartment passes state property. This inheritance is called escheat(Article 1151 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

    However, there are situations when it is possible restore the missed deadline. There must be a good reason for this.

    In this case, you can restore the period:

    • By going to court. To submit an application to the court, you will need to provide evidence that there was a reason. For example, a certificate stating that the person was being treated in a hospital at that time, a document confirming the fact that the person was in business trip long period of time, etc.;
    • Out of court. This method is only possible if there is written consent from other heirs who have already registered their rights.

    At restoration of the term the notary issues a new certificate of right to inheritance, in which the shares are distributed in a new way, namely, taking into account one more heir.

    For entry into inheritance rights you need to go to the notary at the place of registration of the deceased person. Thus, the heir will express his intentions regarding the inheritance by filing an application for the right to inheritance.

    The certificate will be issued suspended, if there is more unborn child the testator until his birth.

    How to register an inheritance for an apartment after death

    To register inheritance rights after the death of the testator, you need to prepare package of documents, which will include:

    1. passport of the applicant (heir);
    2. death certificate;
    3. a document confirming the relationship (birth certificate, marriage certificate, etc.);
    4. a certificate confirming the place of registration of the deceased person;
    5. will (if any);
    6. documents for the apartment (agreement on the basis of which the deceased owned the apartment, certificate of registration of rights, etc.);
    7. document confirming payment of the state duty.

    We need to add to this list assessment report apartments by a licensed appraiser.

    After collecting documents and submitting an application, the notary waits the six-month period provided by law from the date of death, and issues certificate of inheritance.

    It states which of the heirs and in what size the living space of the deceased should belong.

    The certificate can be one for everyone, or based on the number of heirs.

    After this, the citizen must contact Rosreestr and the inherited property. Only after completing these actions can we consider that the registration of the apartment as an inheritance is completed.

    If the testator lived in another country

    If the testator lived outside of Russia, and the property is located on the territory of the Russian Federation, then there are no significant differences for registration of inheritance rights.

    If the deceased left a will written in the language of another country, then before entering into an inheritance and opening a case with a notary, you will have to resort to the services of a translator. Moreover, the translation of the will must also be certified notary.

    You will also need to make a translation passports foreign citizen, as well as other necessary documents.

    Otherwise the same must be observed requirements, as usual, in accordance with the civil legislation of the Russian Federation.

    Conclusion

    Several important points that a person should keep in mind when registering inheritance rights to living space:

    1. According to the legislation of the Russian Federation, there are only two grounds for entering into an inheritance: a will and by law.
    2. The order of inheritance is determined by kinship.
    3. The inheritance opens from the moment of death of the testator and full rights can only be assumed after 6 months. This period is established by law so that all applicants can express their desire or, conversely, refuse to accept the inheritance. In addition, the legal successors of the deceased need to prepare a whole package of documents, as well as pay a state fee. It can be costly because it is determined as a percentage and directly depends on the price of the apartment.
    4. The notary also conducts the inheritance case and explains to all applicants their rights. Then, after the specified period, issues a certificate of inheritance.
    5. The last step is to register the ownership of the apartment with Rosreestr.

    To obtain a certificate of inheritance, you must pay a state fee of 0.3% of the cost of the apartment if the heir is a child, parent, spouse, brother or sister of the deceased. 0.6% of the cost of living space must be paid to all other heirs, but not more than 1,000,000 rubles. Only those who lived with the deceased at the time of death are exempt from paying state duty.
