Inheritance is the transfer after the death of a person of his property and obligations to others. Inheritance is determined by a compiled will, and in its absence, it is carried out in accordance with the current legislation. If the will exists and complies with the accepted norms, the rights will be transferred.
Instructions
Step 1
Claim your rights. According to the norms of the Civil Law of the Russian Federation, heirs must exercise their right to inheritance within a certain period. This period is six months from the date of the death of the author of the will. If the deadlines for accepting the inheritance are not met, the heir has the opportunity to receive it later, however, this procedure will be much longer and more complicated than the procedure carried out in a timely manner. Acceptance of inheritance in case of violation of the terms will be carried out in court.
Step 2
There are two ways to accept an inheritance by will: to apply to a notary or to actually accept the inheritance.
Step 3
Applying to a Notary Submit a personal statement to the notary in the county where the deceased lived (on your own, or through an authorized representative if you have a document confirming the authority). In the application, indicate your full details and the details of the deceased, the date of death, the degree of your relationship. It is important to understand the inheritance pattern. You will not receive your inheritance immediately after you submit your application. A certificate confirming the right to inheritance is issued after 6 months from the date of its opening, and during this time the notary will need to make sure that there is a will, identify other heirs (if any), calculate the shares in the inheritance. After 6 months from the date of opening the inheritance, you can apply for a certificate of entry into inheritance rights.
Step 4
Actual entry into inheritance rights There are a number of actions, the implementation of which by the heir confirms the fact of acceptance of the inheritance. These actions include: possession or management of inherited property; preservation and protection of property subject to inheritance; implementation of expenses for the maintenance of property subject to inheritance; repayment of the testator's debts. Take one of these actions, and if you can document this, then the court, in the event of a dispute, will consider you the legal heir.
Step 5
If the inheritance is actually accepted, then the fact of entering into the inheritance will be confirmed in court, and a certificate of entry into inheritance rights will be issued by a court decision.
