Cost of inheritance registration services

Why is it advisable to seek legal assistance from a law firm when dealing with inheritance?

1. The inheritance registration procedure takes a lot of time and effort. Notary offices are overcrowded, and to get an appointment with a notary, you need to spend a lot of time.

2. To register inheritance, you need to gather a large number of documents, fill out various applications and forms, pay all state fees, and all of this needs to be done quickly.

3. In most cases, it is necessary to search for property that belonged to the deceased person. Often, heirs are not even aware of the assets owned by the deceased, and finding it requires time and relevant qualifications.

4. Documents for the property of the deceased (land plots, houses, garages, summer cottages) are usually incomplete or, in some cases, completely absent or damaged. Therefore, it is necessary to start from scratch or complete all the necessary documents, obtain duplicates, or restore lost documents.

5. Often close relatives are forced to prove their family ties due to errors in the spelling of surnames and names, both of the deceased and the heirs. This may require going to court or government agencies to correct these inaccuracies or confirm family ties.

6. The acceptance of inheritance is usually accompanied by legal disputes with other claimants to the inheritance. According to the newspaper "Legal Practice" (No. 46 (621) of 11/17/09), 60-70% of inheritance certificates are contested in court. Therefore, it is necessary to be extremely careful from the very beginning in performing all procedures for the inheritance registration correctly. It is even better to entrust all the procedures for the inheritance registration to lawyers who have extensive experience in this area.

Who has the right to inherit?

The right to inherit arises in two cases:

1. Inheritance by will: the deceased made a will in favor of one or more heirs.

2. Inheritance by law:
a) the deceased did not leave a will;
b) the will was revoked by a court decision;
c) the will was made not for all property, but only for a part of it;
d) the heir designated in the will died before the death of the testator, refused, or did not submit a statement of inheritance within the specified period.
In these cases, inheritance is governed by the order of priority.

Place of Inheritance Registration.

All actions related to inheritance registration are carried out at the place of residence of the deceased. If the place of residence of the deceased is unknown, then all actions related to inheritance registration are carried out at the location of real estate, and if it is not available, then at the location of the main part of any other property.

Inheritance Registration Deadlines.

The day of opening inheritance is considered to be the day of the testator's death. Within 6 (six) months from the date of death, all persons who claim all or part of the inherited property must submit an application to the state notary office or a private notary at the place of inheritance registration. Heirs who did not submit an application for entry into inheritance within the specified period for a valid reason may extend the inheritance registration period through legal proceedings. After the expiration of the six-month period from the date of the testator's death, the notary, provided that there are documents required for inheritance registration and no legal dispute between the heirs, may issue a certificate of the right to inheritance.

Inheritance Registration Procedure.

1. Filing an application with a state notary office or a private notary for accepting an inheritance.

2. Opening an inheritance case.

3. Submission of statements by other heirs who claim inherited property. All other heirs must submit an application to the notary who opened the inheritance case.

4. Collection of all necessary documents for the issuance of a certificate of the right to inheritance.

5. Searching for property whose existence the heirs are not aware of.

6. Obtaining a certificate of the right to inheritance.
