The death of someone close to you entails the need to deal with the registration of the inheritance. This procedure is not difficult if you do it on time and do not miss the six-month period. According to Art. 115 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the opening of the inheritance takes place at the place of residence of the testator.
Instructions
Step 1
Inheritance can be formalized either through a notary or in court. The last option has to be resorted to when a notary refuses to issue a certificate of the right to inheritance for some reason.
Step 2
Through a notary, the inheritance is formalized as follows: within 6 months from the death of the testator, be sure to submit an application for inheritance. The application, a sample of which is available to the notary, is accompanied by the necessary documents. After 6 months, contact a notary again to finalize all the documents and receive a certificate of inheritance rights, which must be registered with the Office of the Federal Registration Service if the inheritance includes real estate.
Step 3
If the place of residence of the testator is unknown or the property is located in several places, then the inheritance is opened where the more valuable part of the property is located. If the heir lives far away and cannot come in person to submit an application, then he can send it by mail or transfer it through another person. In this case, his signature must be notarized.
Step 4
If the heir actually entered the inheritance, but did not manage to formalize it in six months, then you will have to go to court. A statement of claim is being prepared and submitted to the court. As a result, the court's decision is equated to a notarial certificate, therefore it must also be registered with the UFRS. Registration of ownership through the court lasts longer than through a notary (up to 6 months).
Step 5
In order to apply to a notary or a court, in addition to an application, it is necessary to prepare the following documents: - original and copy of the testator's death certificate; - passport (original and copy); - certificate from the place of residence of the testator or an extract from the house book; - certificate of marriage for the testator's spouse (original and copy); - birth certificate, marriage certificate, document on change of surname for the testator's children and parents (original and copy). As well as all documents related to the ownership of an apartment, house, land, car and securities.
