Can a Husband Give His Share in an Apartment to His Wife?

Methods for re-registration of housing in the name of a spouse during the period of a registered union

The first method is to conclude a prenuptial agreement.
This method is implemented in accordance with Art. 34 RF IC. Partners who have signed the agreement can establish different ownership regimes (equity, joint, separate). In addition, the legislation directly states that spouses have the right to enter into a contract both for the property at the couple’s disposal and for that which will appear in their future.

In accordance with the indicated norm, spouses have shares in jointly acquired goods; the husband can transfer his share in favor of his other half.

Such an operation can be performed by deed of gift. This is done through the formation of a deed of gift.

A gift agreement presupposes the legal capacity of the parties signing it. It must be certified by a notary and registered. If this is not done, the document will not have legal force.

The second way is to sign a value sharing agreement. This method is applied in accordance with Art. 38 RF IC. Common benefits are divided between partners by prior agreement.

The contract for the division of valuables is also notarized. The paper defines the parts of each spouse in their possession. The right to a share is transferred through the donation procedure.

How to prepare a package of documents?

We provide you with a list of required documents.

1. Passports of all owners of shares in the apartment.
2. Birth certificate of the minor owner.
3. Consent of the guardianship authorities, if there are minors.
4. Documents that establish your right to own a share in the apartment. This is the document that lies at the basis of the previous transaction, according to which a certificate of state registration of rights was issued. This could be a privatization agreement (transfer from municipal property to personal use), exchange, certificate of inheritance, purchase and sale, court ruling, etc.
5. Extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate.
6. Consent to sale. It is presented if the real estate was acquired during a legal marriage. This document is drawn up by a notary. This is a kind of permission from one of the spouses to dispose of jointly acquired property. Consent will not be required if the apartment or share in it is owned on the basis of privatization, donation, or inherited.
7. Certificate of state registration of rights. It may be missing because this document appeared after 1997. After such a registration body as the “Unified State Register of Rights to Real Estate and Transactions with It” arose. Before this, all transactions with property were registered by a notary, and the data was transferred to the BTI. Therefore, to register, you will need to order an extract from the BTI, which takes 2 weeks to prepare and you will have to pay a state fee for it. The state duty is paid by those in whose name the apartment is registered. Details can be found at the location of the registration authority. It amounts to 2000 thousand rubles and is divided if there are several participants.
8. Technical passport from BTI. Made in BTI. Currently it is losing its existence. It is being replaced by a technical plan. It can be ordered not only from BTI, but also from other state-accredited commercial organizations. Such competition makes it possible to produce a technical plan at a lower cost and in a shorter time.
9. A certificate issued for the alienation of housing;
10. A certificate certifying that you have paid property taxes;

If everything is carried out under a gift agreement, then:

1. Provide a gift agreement;
2. Extract from home books;
3. Cadastral passport. A technical document that has a cadastral number and state value at the moment.

The algorithm of actions when re-registering an apartment has a certain sequence:

• Preparation of technical documentation for the apartment. Updating or ordering missing documents: technical and cadastral passport for residential premises. An extract from cadastral documents can be obtained from the BTI. If the cadastre passport was issued a long time ago, then it is necessary to call experts again to evaluate the apartment. These documents must be prepared in advance; they take one week to a month to prepare, but their shelf life is quite long.
• Obtain consent from other owners. If there are any. It is drawn up by a notary. If the owner is a minor child, one of the parents acts for him and in his interests.
• To make an agreement. On the basis on which the apartment will be re-registered. Pay the state fee.
• Get certificates from the housing department. Please note that certificates are valid for 10 days. Certificate of absence of debt on utility bills and electricity. A certificate from the passport office about the composition of registered persons in the apartment, otherwise it is called form No. 3.
• After the entire package of documents is ready, you need to register with the Federal State Research Center. Personal presence with identification documents of all participants in the transaction is required. With the exception of minor children, in whose interests legal representatives act. If a child has a passport, but has not reached the age of majority, he can independently sign the agreement in the presence of one of the parents.
• Re-registration of an apartment or a share in it takes two weeks. After this period, you must obtain a new state registration certificate.

How to re-register an apartment after the death of my husband?

If, after the death of a relative, it is necessary to assume the rights of an heir, then you should contact a notary. You are required to complete an application and provide relevant documentation. Namely:

• certificate of ownership of the apartment;
• a document confirming the death of the previous owner who inherited the property;
• documents that confirm family ties. If a will has been drawn up, there is no need to submit such papers.

Also, the notary must be presented with a cadastral plan, and the same extracts that are obtained upon request from the BTI authority.

The legislation of the Russian Federation provides for limited periods in order to accept an inheritance. They are 6 months from the date of death of the legal owner. And if these deadlines were missed, they can be restored in court.

If the owner of the apartment died and did not leave a will, his relatives have the right by law to divide the shares and transfer them to themselves in court.

We give an apartment to my wife: the legal aspect of the gift

In life, different scenarios are possible. It happens that before marriage, future spouses do not own residential square meters, and wish to purchase them jointly.

But it often happens differently. For example, when a spouse has residential real estate at his disposal, and he wants to either partially or completely transfer it into the ownership of his wife. Wanting this, a man probably asks a reasonable question: how should such a transaction be formalized and comply with all legal norms?

The legal norm for donation is regulated by Chapter No. 32 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.

Following the text of the Civil Code, from the legal side, donation is an act of transfer by one person to another person, subject to the gratuitous basis of this voluntary act.

Many car owners wonder whether it is possible to re-register a car to their wife without her presence. It can be noted here that without the presence of the wife, as a buyer, recipient or trustee, re-registration is not carried out.

How to re-register a mortgage for another person in Sberbank

Sberbank of Russia has a reputation as a lender that is loyal to its clients. In many situations, the bank meets the client halfway in order to resolve the issue of problematic debt and prevent an increase in debt.

If a borrower with an existing mortgage loan suddenly finds himself in a situation where he can no longer service his loan, then Sberbank usually offers two ways to develop the situation:

1. Loan restructuring (usually, in order to reduce the credit burden, the client is offered to increase the debt repayment period, as a result of which a significant reduction in the monthly payment can be achieved).
2. Renewal of the contract to another, solvent borrower (the procedure is implemented approximately according to the scheme described earlier).

The choice of a specific method will depend on the current situation of the individual borrower. It is clear that a person in whose life there has been a dismissal, illness or other serious event will, with a high degree of probability, agree to re-issue the mortgage to another person.

The borrower, realizing that the difficulties encountered are temporary, will refinance the mortgage with another bank or restructure the debt.

An alternative option is also to replace the collateral itself (for example, with another apartment). But in practice, this option is quite rare.

• having a permanent place of work;
• Russian citizenship;
• temporary or permanent registration in the city where the bank operates;
• full legal capacity;
• sufficient solvency (no more than 40% of family income should be allocated for payments on all existing loans).

If the client does not meet at least one requirement, the bank has the right to refuse.

A way to gift a share of housing to your spouse

Many families who have been married for more than one year acquire housing together. But due to personal circumstances and the specific situation, the spouses decide to completely transfer the apartment purchased during marriage to one of them, for example, to the wife. In this case, the husband has the legal right to give the woman his share of housing.

This method is especially reasonable and in demand when the husband wants to protect and protect his wife as much as possible from the threat of dividing the apartment after his death.

The fact is that, according to the law, all property is divided between the closest relatives, and even if the deceased would not want it. Therefore, a pre-executed agreement on the donation of a share completely nullifies any attempt at a controversial division of housing.

Another situation often happens when a spouse has his own apartment purchased before marriage, and he wants to transfer a share in it to his wife. To do this, it is necessary to draw up a gift agreement and, if the spouses decide to separate in the future, then the donated share in the apartment will not be divided under any circumstances.

A sample agreement for the donation of a share in an apartment can be downloaded here

It should be noted that the process of donating a share is absolutely identical to the procedure for transferring the entire apartment. There are small distinctive nuances only in the documentary package. If a spouse refuses a share of housing acquired during marriage, it is necessary to obtain the written consent of the wife: first, to the right to alienate one of the residential shares, and then to agree to accept the alienated share of housing as a gift for personal use.

After completing the documentation package, the husband and wife inform Rosreestr regarding the fact of the transaction so that the changes acquire official status.

Remember! A deed of gift, which is carried out for the good purpose of protecting and providing a woman with an apartment after the death of her husband, requires timely registration. And in the case where, before the death of the spouse, the agreement was never registered in Rosreestr, the housing will be legally shared by all heirs.

Re-register an apartment to your ex-wife

Experts recommend divorcing spouses to divide property after receiving a divorce certificate. In this case, everything will go much faster. Let's explain with an example.

Example. The Vasiliev couple, who did not have children, decided to get a divorce, since the marriage had outlived its usefulness, and there was no point in continuing their life together. The lawyer they consulted recommended that they immediately submit an application to the registry office and then deal with the division of property. They did just that: they wrote a joint statement and, a month later, received divorce certificates. After this, the ex-husband and wife began to deal with the division of property. As a result, this procedure took them more than two months, but all this time they were free for a new relationship.

If a husband and wife immediately come to a voluntary agreement, then they can immediately re-register the apartment to their wife in the manner prescribed by law. The main ways to resolve this issue have been described above.

Important! A gift agreement is the most profitable way to transfer a share in an apartment to your wife, since the transaction is not taxed.

How to re-register an apartment for a married wife in Ukraine

To complete such a transaction, you can choose one of the options, each of which has both advantages and disadvantages.

Options for carrying out a transaction The transaction is carried out between persons who have not lost their legal capacity and are in a sane state.

5 The drawn up agreement and other documents (the same as for the gift agreement) must be taken to the Federal Registration Service, where it will be registered. After which the husband can give his wife his share, as a result of which the wife becomes the sole and full owner of the house.

Sometimes a property division agreement is used. In the latter option, a notary's presence is not required.

M Can a husband give his wife his share of a mortgaged apartment?

Option No. 2. Consider the donation option. Of course, a gift agreement is the easiest way to transfer your right to your wife or husband. But again there are nuances. The average mortgage term is 10–15 years. It is unknown what will happen during this time. Although it is possible to repay the loan ahead of schedule, this may also take several years. But let’s say, theoretically, 10 years have passed, and the husband is ready to give his wife his ½ share of the apartment. After the transaction is concluded, the notary will transfer ownership of the property in favor of the wife. Of course, after the conclusion of the donation agreement, the right of joint ownership of the apartment will cease. Consequently, the husband will not be able to claim the disputed apartment in court. Moreover, the husband’s refusal of a share in property through a gift can occur not only during marriage, but also at any time after its dissolution. The statute of limitations for the division of jointly acquired property in court is, as a general rule, three years, but there are precedents for restoring such deadlines in judicial practice. Therefore, it is better not to delay the registration of real estate.

Let's summarize. Nevertheless, the obvious way out of the situation under consideration is to conclude an agreement on the division of property in marriage. This document provides the necessary guarantees of obtaining ownership rights as quickly as possible and is not retroactive.

Methods of housing registration

How to transfer an apartment to a relative in such a way as to reduce your financial costs to a minimum and be confident in the transparency and legality of the transaction?

Re-registration of housing in the name of a relative is carried out through the conclusion of a civil transaction in accordance with the norms of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.

There are several ways to transfer property:

• contract of sale;
• donation;
• transfer by will;
• rent;
• exchange.

Let's consider the tax features and potential risks of each of these transactions.

Contract of sale

Buying and selling is one of the most common real estate transactions. It involves the paid transfer of housing from one party to the contract to the other. The buyer can be a relative or any other person. As a rule, when a relative is a party, money for housing is not actually transferred at all, which contradicts the very essence of the agreement. It's a worthless deal.

If he owned the property for less than 3 years and the transaction amount exceeds 1 million rubles, he is obliged to pay 13% to the budget. Underestimating the cost of an agreement is also risky.

Transactions between relatives are under special control by the fiscal authorities. If it turns out during the audit that the price was underestimated by more than 30% of the cadastral value of the property, the person responsible will be charged the missing amount of taxes.

At the same time, close relatives, in accordance with the norms of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, cannot count on receiving a tax deduction, since they are interdependent persons.

Gift deed

It is also quite common to draw up a deed of gift for an apartment between relatives.
How best to arrange an apartment: donation or purchase and sale to a relative is up to everyone to decide for themselves. Both options have their advantages. A deed of gift involves the gratuitous transfer of real estate. At the same time, you can draw up a deed of gift without a notary, which will significantly reduce the costs of the transaction.

How to draw up an agreement to donate an apartment to a relative? According to Art. 217 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, a transaction between close relatives is not subject to taxation. If you donate housing to an aunt or uncle, you will have to pay 13% tax.

The amount of tax in the gift deed due to the absence of the transaction price in the agreement is determined from the value that exists on the date of the transaction for a similar type of property.

Other advantages of such a gift transaction can be noted:

1. Only the recipient becomes the owner of the apartment. His spouse does not have the right to claim part of the housing, as happens when buying and selling an apartment.
2. The donor has the right to mark the transaction unilaterally if the new owner commits a crime against the life and health of the donor or there is a threat of irretrievable loss of property.

Will

You can also transfer housing to a relative by will.
In this case, however, you will have to wait until the death of the previous owner of the property. The heir will not be able to take over his rights earlier. Even after death, the procedure for registering an inheritance will drag on for a long time, since only six months are allocated by law for entering into an inheritance.

The transfer of real estate by will must be notarized.

The heir ultimately becomes the sole owner of the apartment. No one else, not even his spouse, has the right to claim half of such real estate. This distinguishes the transaction from a residential purchase and sale agreement.

When entering into an inheritance, you will also not need to pay inheritance tax. The only payment in this case will be the payment of the state duty.

Rent and exchange

An annuity is a less popular way to transfer property.
Rent involves the lifelong maintenance of the homeowner in exchange for the subsequent receipt of his apartment. Moreover, the owner sometimes, by agreement, has the right to live in the apartment for the rest of his life along with its potentially new owner.

Such a transaction is also subject to notarization and is registered in Rosreestr. Unlike inheritance, homeowners become citizens immediately upon registration of the transfer of ownership. He doesn't have to wait for the former owner to die.

The apartment can also be exchanged for another living space. Moreover, by law, the exchange can be carried out with or without additional payment. This is a more complex transaction, less suitable for transferring housing to a close relative.

Ways to re-register an apartment for your wife

Donation

An agreement for the gratuitous transfer of movable or immovable property (the so-called “deed of gift”) to other persons can be drawn up both for relatives or a spouse, and for third parties.

This type of transfer of an apartment to the wife is the most common and optimal in the case of an existing marriage - during the procedure, the married couple is completely exempt from paying state taxes.

But if the deed of gift is issued after the divorce, then the spouses are required to pay 13% of the cost of the apartment as tax, following Article 224 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

Let's celebrate! Registration is possible, for example, in the following cases, when the husband owns the apartment either completely or its share. This method of transfer has one flaw - the donor has the right to appeal the decision through the court and return the transferred property back.

Contract of sale

This type of apartment re-registration is similar to a gift deed.

But there are two differences:

• Payment of state taxes. When carrying out a purchase and sale, spouses must pay all kinds of taxes intended for this type of agreement.
• Impossibility of returning the apartment back to my husband. This type excludes the possibility of appealing the concluded deal through the court, because when concluding such an agreement, it means transferring the property into ownership of another person forever. An exceptional case is the proven insanity of the husband, in the state of which the transaction was concluded.

Will

It is possible to draw up a testamentary agreement in which the will of the husband will be stated. The main circumstance under which it is possible to transfer an apartment to a spouse is a clear statement of the spouse’s inheritance rights.

Note! This method of transmission is convenient, for example, in the event of a serious incurable illness in a husband or extremely dangerous work activity.

How to transfer an apartment to your wife during a divorce

Situations where, after a divorce, the apartment is transferred to one of the spouses or the wife decides to buy out her husband’s share are not uncommon.
Therefore, lawyers are asked to re-register the apartment in the name of one of the spouses. There are three ways to do this:

1. According to Article 42 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation, spouses can enter into a notarized marriage contract. This document may change the common ownership regime. As a result, each spouse gets a certain share of the joint property. And the best option would be for the spouse to give his share to his other half.
2. Conclude a notarial agreement that changes the regime of common ownership. After this, ownership of the jointly acquired property passes to one of the spouses.
3. Draw up an agreement on the division of common property. This can be done on the basis of Article 38 of the Family Code. The husband can then also donate or sell his share to his wife.

Required package of documents

To re-register an apartment to your wife during a divorce, you will need to collect a certain package of documents:

• Application for renewal;
• Agreement confirming the purchase of real estate;
• Documents on ownership of an apartment or house;
