In order to inherit by will, you need to be included in the list of persons who are mentioned by the testator. In order to fully own and dispose of the bequest property, it must be recorded in your name. It is, in principle, easy to draw up all the documents, provided that the will will not be challenged by the heirs under the law.
Instructions
Step 1
Property can be inherited both by law and by will. The latter is preferable for the heirs and is much easier to design. If the will is drawn up in detail and contains the identification of all property, only a passport may be required from the heirs. In order to receive an inheritance, in principle, you do not need to seek help from lawyers, it is enough to contact a notary and write an application for inheritance. After completing the application, if necessary, you will be provided with a list of documents that need to be collected, and they can explain where to get the necessary documents and certificates.
Step 2
The main documents that a notary may require: a death certificate of the testator, a certificate from the last place of residence of the testator. Inheritance by will relieves heirs from the need to prove family relations, since a will can be issued to any person. If it is necessary to register immovable property that is inherited, you may need: title and legal documents, cadastral and technical passports, a certificate from the BTI on the inventory value of real estate on the day of the death of the testator, a certificate from the tax authority about the absence of debt on real estate taxes, an extract from the unified state register of rights on the absence of encumbrances and restrictions in relation to real estate.
Step 3
When registering a vehicle, you may need: a certificate of registration of a car, a vehicle passport, a purchase and sale agreement, a certificate of account, a report on the market value of a car on the day of the death of the testator. All documents are provided to the notary only in originals. You can inherit both funds placed in credit institutions and securities, for example, shares. If you are processing the receipt of deposits, you need to provide a bank deposit agreement or a savings book. For registration of shares, the data of the legal entity (INN, PSRN, name) are indicated, a fresh extract from the register of shareholders, a certificate of the assessed value of securities on the day of the death of the testator are provided.
Step 4
On the basis of the documents provided, the notary issues a certificate of the right to inheritance. The certificate can be issued for all heirs together, as well as separately for each of the heirs, indicating the due share. Registration of inheritance with a notary takes place within 2-4 weeks. After receiving a certificate of the right to inheritance, it is necessary to apply to the relevant state authorities to register the transfer of ownership.
