If the Russians do not accept the inheritance within six months, the state has the right to declare the inheritance ownerless and take it for itself through the court within a year. Irina Nigmatullina, a lawyer with 17 years of experience and head of the Kairos+ Real Estate Registry Center, told socialbites.ca.
“First of all, the state has the right to register the property in the cadastral register and declare the property ownerless through the court. After that, the state can dispose of it. But if the heirs, even after five to seven years, restore the conditions of inheritance and prove that they own the property, the state will be obliged to return the property to them,” Nigmatullina explained.
According to her, actions with things that do not have an owner are stipulated in Article 225 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. Nigmatullina explained that it is better not to miss the deadlines for entering the inheritance. Otherwise, you will have to go to court and explain why the deadlines were missed, as well as prove kinship and ownership of the property, the lawyer explained.
Nigmatullina advised heirs to always apply for inheritance, even if they don’t know about the property. The lawyer explained that this applies to movable property, including apartments, cars, summer houses and real estate (including money, bank accounts and other property).
He said that in order to apply for inheritance, it is necessary to visit the notary in the region where the testator is registered. The application must indicate the full name of the heir and the testator, the moment of the testator’s death and last place of residence, the will of the heir to accept the inheritance and the basis of the inheritance: will or family relations.
The lawyer added that before starting the application process, it is better to check on the website of the Federal Notary Chamber whether another heir has filed the case. You should also attach documents confirming your identity, family ties, ownership and inheritance rights. The exact list of documents depends on the type of property. If the testator left a will, there is no need to confirm family ties. Nigmatullina summarized that later you can go to court to obtain the right to own the necessary property.
With words According to lawyer Victoria Danilchenko, the inheritance can be bequeathed to any person, including foreigners.
