How to re-register ownership of an apartment

Owners of apartments and other residential real estate are given the opportunity to transfer property to third parties. It is allowed to re-register ownership of an apartment as part of one of the permitted transactions. When selling, most often the transfer of rights is carried out on the basis of a purchase and sale agreement, and when making a gift - on a deed of gift. It is important for parties participating in such procedures to know what documents are needed to re-register an apartment. No less important is the procedure determined depending on the circumstances of the transfer of rights to real estate.

How to re-register ownership of an apartment

In order to transfer ownership rights, the owner of real estate can use one of the types of transactions permitted by law. These include:

• Sale. A sales contract is signed between the seller and the buyer, which, after notarization and registration with the appropriate authority, becomes legal. In this case, the seller undertakes to pay a tax deduction; other costs associated with the procedure are distributed between the parties on a voluntary basis.
• Giving. The method also involves drawing up an agreement - a deed of gift. In the future, this document becomes the title document for the new owner. It differs from purchase and sale by the absence of the need to pay government duties and taxes.
• Exchange. Another way to transfer rights to real estate while avoiding additional financial costs. The peculiarity of an exchange agreement is that the transferred object is transferred in exchange for another with the possibility of compensation for one of the parties for the difference.
• Inheritance. The transfer of rights is carried out due to the death of the owner. It is possible to draw up a will, in which the citizen who is the recipient of the property may be noted. Otherwise, the general procedure for transferring property by inheritance comes into force.

Note!

Another category is the division of property during divorce proceedings. In this case, a full transfer of ownership rights is rarely carried out. Most often, in such proceedings, a separate division procedure is established.

Correctly redecorating an apartment is important

How to properly re-register an apartment is the most important issue in the transaction. The further peace of mind of the citizen to whom the apartment is re-registered depends on the correctness of the re-registration. Proper registration of the apartment is a guarantee that in the future you will not have to defend your rights as an owner in court, or run around the authorities in search of various certificates and confirmations.

Here is one of the stories in our practice, how to complicate your life by re-registering an apartment without following all the rules provided for by the law of the Russian Federation.

The two-room apartment belonged to two owners: an adult and a minor child. The owner of one of the shares transferred it to another person through a purchase and sale agreement. I did not ask the consent of the second owner (the child). After a short period of time, the buyer of the share donated the share of the apartment to a third party - his nephew. As a result, the guardianship authorities, having discovered a violation of the rights of a minor child, opened a criminal case, as a result of which it turned out that the nephew lost an expensive gift and was left with nothing, having spent on legal costs and the money collected from him to pay for the services of the plaintiff.

In such expensive transactions as real estate transactions, one cannot deviate from the rules established by law. Any minor violation of them threatens with serious consequences. In each specific case, it is best to pay for the services of a real estate lawyer. His support will be a reliable guarantee of a real estate transaction. Not to mention the fact that in different cases different re-registration options are effective.

It is important to understand that this page lists only a simplified procedure for any re-registration actions. In reality, every time it is necessary to take into account the subtleties of transactions (for example, you need the consent of the spouse to complete a real estate transaction, or make a request for permission from the guardianship and trusteeship authorities, etc.). Consult with specialists in support of real estate transactions.

Documents for re-registration of ownership of an apartment

The procedure for re-registration of property rights is carried out on the basis of title documentation. Its type depends on the transaction in which property is transferred from one person to another. In addition, you must provide the following:

• civil passports of the person transferring rights, as well as the new owner;
• if the apartment is in shared ownership - written permission from each owner;
• an extract from the BTI, drawn up according to the established standard;
• extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate;
• a certificate from the management company confirming the absence of utility debts on the transferred property;
• receipt of payment of state duty.

The package of documents is sent to the Rosreestr branch at the location of the property or to the nearest branch of the MFC. If the procedure is followed taking into account all the norms, then information about the transfer of property to a new person is noted in the Unified State Register of Real Estate.

Note!

Certificates of ownership are not issued at this time. When submitting documents to the registrar, you should obtain copies, which are subsequently confiscated to carry out all necessary work.

What documents are needed to sign a deceased person out of an apartment?

For discharge of the deceased, incl. and the owner of the apartment, the applicant must provide the following documents:

• your passport;
• death certificate with official seal;
• papers for the apartment (you can provide not a certificate of ownership, since these papers, although not out of circulation, are no longer issued, but only an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate);
• application in the prescribed form;
• a certificate of family composition (it is needed when leaving a municipal apartment).

If we are talking about a municipal (i.e., non-privatized) apartment, then you should additionally write an application to re-register the social tenancy agreement in the name of the applicant. But the latter is relevant only if the applicant has the right to do so, i.e. already lived in the specified living space and has a residence permit there, he just wasn’t a responsible tenant before.

You can also bring documents confirming the applicant’s family ties with the deceased. Providing them is not mandatory, but many prefer to present a marriage certificate or adoption agreement.

Receipts for utility services indicating your personal account do not need to be provided. A person will be discharged even if he still has debt for housing and communal services. The heirs of the deceased will simply have to pay this debt. Debts do not disappear; they are automatically inherited by those who inherit any real estate, bank accounts or cars. If a person does not want to pay the debt, he can refuse the inheritance.

Is it possible to discharge a deceased person without a death certificate?

Without a death certificate, a deceased person can only be discharged from an apartment by court. The document is needed regardless of which organization the procedure is being carried out. If the certificate was lost, you can obtain a duplicate of it from the registry office by simply indicating the fact of loss. If it is not possible to re-issue this paper (for example, the applicant is not a relative of the deceased), then you will have to go to court.

If a person has died, but a death certificate has not yet been received, it will not be possible to issue it. You must first receive the document, and only then issue an extract. If for some reason the body is not released from the morgue for a long time (usually due to an autopsy in the case of a violent death) and no papers are provided, you need to be patient and wait for all procedures to be completed.

Where to pick up a certificate or death certificate

The method of officially obtaining the necessary death certificate depends on the specific location and circumstances:

1. In an official medical institution - a hospital where citizens are admitted to the hospital or operations are performed.
2. In the morgue, if the corpse was brought from the street (discovered by random passersby) or work for an official autopsy or identification.
3. Right in the apartment, if the death occurred due to natural causes at home. This certificate will be issued by the doctor on duty who will arrive on call. Relatives are required to immediately call a doctor after discovering the body.

There are no problems with obtaining it if the deceased was of advanced age and nothing indicates the fact of violent death.

The relatives of the deceased request a certificate. But there are situations when family members have not yet been informed about the death of a person, or the citizen did not have relatives.

Then an official certificate is issued to relatively strangers:

1. If a person died in the line of duty, then the certificate is received by the commander of the unit where the official service of the deceased took place. When a part is visited by relatives of the deceased, he is obliged to hand over the document after confirming the relationship.
2. Official social worker departments caring for a sick and lonely citizen.
3. If death occurred during the commission of a crime (the person was an accomplice or victim of the actions of attackers), then a certificate is issued to an employee of the investigative authorities. Relatives need to call the Ministry of Internal Affairs and find out the address of the unit where they can pick up the document. In this case, you will also need to confirm your relationship.
4. When a person dies in prison, the head of the correctional institution receives the certificate.

The situation becomes more complicated if the deceased’s closest relatives are incapacitated. Then medical and social. employees can carry out the procedure for receiving documents and extracting them instead, but only after appropriate consent.

Confirmation of relationship

In judicial practice, there are often proceedings involving confirmation of family ties. If there are no disputes and you have legal documentation on hand, then the relevant papers can be obtained from the registry office. When the situation is ambiguous, additional DNA tests will be required.

Documents that can be used to confirm relationship:

1. Certificate of childbirth of the person who claims the inheritance.
2. The same act, but with information about the deceased.
3. Birth certificate of brothers, grandmothers, father, mother, sisters and any other relatives who also have the right to claim the property of the deceased.

In addition to the official papers described, the following may be useful:

• certificate of marriage or its dissolution;
• documents confirming that a person changed his first or last name at some point.

The court also takes into account circumstantial evidence through which the fact of blood ties can be confirmed. But the first thing you need to do is contact the registry office to try to restore the papers without litigation.

Be sure to read it! Appeal in a criminal case: procedure for consideration 2020

The indirect base includes:

1. Joint photographs of a person who needs to confirm the fact of relationship. The photo must also include the deceased citizen and preferably other family members.
2. Postcards or any cards with congratulations. It is important that the deceased’s first and last names are written down in his hand, and ideally his status – son, daughter, etc.

The procedure for re-registration of an apartment to another owner

The actions that the parties need to perform directly depend on the type of transaction.

1. According to the purchase and sale agreement. Together with the buyer and the notary, a document is drawn up that reflects all the terms of the transaction, including the cost of the object. This type of transmission today is considered the safest from a legal point of view. The sale is considered closed after the purchase and sale agreement is registered with Rosreestr, taking into account the stipulated requirements.
2. Giving. A deed of gift is drawn up between the donor and the donee, which requires notarization. Further actions after concluding the document are similar to those described above. In addition to the absence of the fact of transfer of funds for the object, the transaction is distinguished by the absence of a financial burden in the form of a state duty for the parties.

Separately, it should be noted the transfer of rights to real estate under a rent agreement. This approach has much in common with a standard purchase and sale transaction. The difference is that there is no requirement for a one-time transfer of funds from the buyer to the seller. Together with the notary, an agreement is concluded, within the framework of which the terms for making payments are determined. The transaction is considered completed after the debt incurred is closed.

Regardless of the conditions under which the re-registration of ownership of the apartment is carried out, the new owner, after completing the procedure, is obliged to contact the management company. The goal is to re-register personal accounts for services. This is due to the lack of interaction between the Criminal Code and Rosreestr. If you do not promptly submit an application of the established form to the Criminal Code, then in the future the new owner will receive receipts for utility bills for the old owner. This in turn can lead to the following difficulties:

• when making some payments, questions may arise for the payer, because data about one owner is entered in the management company database, and the payment is made by another;
• If metering devices are not installed in the apartment and payments for services are calculated at the general house rate, then the final price in some cases is affected by the number of permanently registered persons; without re-registration, there is a possibility of charging incorrect amounts to the new owner.

When and in what time frame should this be done?

The law does not establish a specific period within which it is necessary to submit an application for removal from the apartment of the deceased. However, you should not delay this procedure, as you will have to pay utility bills and there may be difficulties with selling the apartment.

Be sure to read it! How can a father receive alimony from the child’s mother - conditions, registration, amount, collection

Over time, the heirs may completely “forget” that the deceased relative has not been removed from the register, and this may cause the sale and purchase transaction to fail.

Re-registration of real estate after the death of a person

The procedure for transferring ownership of an apartment may become more complicated due to the death of the owner. One of the problems is the lack of a will, which can indicate the recipients of the entire real estate or share. If there is no will, then the distribution of the deceased's property is distributed in the standard order, taking into account priority. For some applicants for real estate, such an action may be complicated by the appearance of previously unknown heirs who are entitled to priority rights.

Another difficulty is meeting the deadlines established by law. It is necessary to enter into an inheritance within 6 months from the date noted on the death certificate or the relevant court order. Obtaining ownership rights if the deadline is violated is quite problematic. This is due to the need to go to court, where rights can be established regardless of the period. However, for this, the applicant must have valid reasons, which can be proven documented. Otherwise, the apartment or other property will be transferred to the next persons in order.

If all deadlines are met correctly, then to establish ownership, the heir must contact the notary at the place of registration of the deceased. The procedure involves providing the following documents:

• application of the established form;
• the applicant's civil passport;
• documents confirming relationship with the deceased;
• death certificate or court order.

The apartment was privatized in the 90s - is it necessary to re-register the documents?

Info Citizens who occupy residential premises of state and municipal housing funds on the basis of social rent have the right to purchase these real estate objects as personal property. The transfer of ownership powers is formalized by a privatization agreement, for the conclusion of which it is necessary to collect the following package of documents:

• Passport details (birth certificates) of all registered residents.
• Social tenancy agreement.
• Statement of the established form.
• Technical certificate.
• Extracts from the house register and personal account.
• A certificate confirming that the parties to the transaction do not have their own home.
• A certificate stating that the person has not previously taken part in the privatization process.

The transfer of rights to privatized property is subject to mandatory state registration.
