The certificate of the right to inheritance is a document of title that allows the heir to enter into an inheritance by law or by will. The certificate is issued by a notary after 6 months from the date of opening the inheritance. What to do if the certificate of the right to inheritance has not been received or has been lost?
Instructions
Step 1
It is impossible to become an heir automatically. The inheritance certificate is the final step in the inheritance process. You need to get the paper. To do this, within six months, you must contact a notary, preferably at the place of opening the inheritance and bring with you a package of necessary documents: - death certificate of the testator;
- if inheritance occurs according to the law, then you need to submit documents confirming the relationship, if by will - present it;
- documents of title to inherited property (for example, a certificate of ownership of an apartment);
- a certificate of registration of the deceased;
- an extract from the house book.
Step 2
If necessary, the notary may require other documents. After you, as an heir, have written a statement of acceptance of the inheritance, the notary opens the inheritance case. After 6 months, you will receive a Certificate of Inheritance. But for this you need to pay a fee: - children, parents, spouses, brothers and sisters pay 0.3% of the value of the property, but not more than 100 thousand rubles;
- other heirs - 0.6%, but not more than 1 million rubles;
- the spouses pay a fixed amount of 200 rubles for a share of the property acquired during the marriage;
- at the same time, if the property is located abroad, the state duty will be only one minimum wage. The property is assessed by competent organizations in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation.
Step 3
If the received Certificate of the Right to Inheritance is lost for some reason, you must again contact the notary who prepared it for you. Having paid 100 rubles of the state duty, you will receive a duplicate. Since the notary has already checked the death of the testator, the presence of a will and other circumstances, and copies of all documents are kept in his archive, the issuance of a copy will not take long.
