No matter how long a person lives, he leaves behind not only descendants, but also certain property: money, an apartment, a car, a cottage, stocks and more. In order for all property acquired by the deceased not to become state property, the heirs must draw up an inheritance (and do it right).
To formalize the inheritance case, the heirs need to contact a notary public who exercises his powers at the last place of residence of the deceased. From this begins the design of the inheritance. Documents necessary for registration and conduct of business can be provided by the heirs independently, both at the first visit and at subsequent ones. The notary himself can also collect the necessary documents.
What documents are needed for registration of the inheritance?
There is no single list of documents established for inheritance business. In each individual case, a package of documents is collected, the general one is: a death certificate of the testator, a certificate of his last place of residence, documents confirming kinship with the deceased, documents confirming ownership of the property.
If we take into account all the nuances, then the list of documents for registration of the inheritance is as follows:
- a document confirming the death of the testator: a certificate or a copy of the record of the act from the registry office of death;
- a certificate from the house administration about where and with whom the deceased was registered on the day of death, indicating the date of registration;
- will (if any);
- passports or other documents confirming the identity of the applicants;
- documents confirming family ties with the testator (marriage certificate, birth certificate);
- if the estate is a car - a registration certificate for a car;
- if the object is real estate, then it is necessary to submit all contracts for it, technical passports, if the property is located on registered land - land documents;
- if money, pensions, shares are inherited - documents confirming the availability and storage of funds from a bank or social security.
In order not to delay the execution of the inheritance, the notary may independently request documents from the relevant authorities on the documents that are not in the hands of the heirs.
The total term for completing the inheritance case is six months from the date of the death of the testator. During this period, the notary establishes the whole circle of heirs, all objects of property, determines the presence / absence of heirs to an obligatory share, and various kinds of agreements are concluded.
When the registration of the inheritance begins, the documents must be attached to the inheritance case. All genuine title documents for real estate are removed, a copy is removed from the registration certificate for the car, which is also attached to the inheritance case.
When all the necessary materials on the inheritance case are collected and the entire composition of the inheritance and the circle of heirs are established, the notary shall notify the interested parties in writing about the day the certificate of inheritance was issued .
Since the expiration of a six-month period, the heirs may apply for the issuance of the above certificate, after which the completion of the inheritance. Documents received from a notary are presented at the location of the inherited property and reissued to new owners. So, a document confirming the transfer of rights to real estate (apartment, house, garage, land) must be presented to the BTI, and a document confirming the transfer of rights to cash is presented to the bank.
