Registering an inheritance for real estate requires the preparation of a package of documents, without which a notary will not be able to issue a certificate of the right to inheritance. The absence of certain documents or the presence of errors in them can complicate or delay the registration of inheritance rights. That is why it is important to check in advance whether all necessary documents are available and whether they are properly executed. This was reported by the Ministry of Justice, according to UNN.
After opening an inheritance case and establishing the composition of the inherited property, the notary provides the heir with a written certificate regarding the list of documents required for the registration of the inheritance
Mandatory documents include:
- the death certificate of the decedent;
- a document confirming the family relationship with the deceased in the case of inheritance by law;
- the heir's passport and RNOKPP (taxpayer identification number);
- the original will or its duplicate in the case of inheritance by will;
- documents confirming the decedent's ownership rights to the property;
- a technical passport, if available;
- documents confirming the fact of the heir's permanent residence with the decedent at the time of the opening of the inheritance. Persons who were registered together with the decedent and lived with them are considered to have accepted the inheritance without submitting a corresponding application.
It is noted that if the documents for the property are lost, the issue can be resolved by obtaining a duplicate or by applying to the court.
