How much do notary services cost when entering into an inheritance: notary fees for 2020

What additional costs might there be?

There are several reasons for additional costs:

If one of the spouses dies, you will have to pay separately to allocate the share of each spouse from the jointly acquired property.
If the deadline for presenting rights to the inheritance has been missed or the heirs cannot agree, then the cost of a lawyer’s services should be included in a separate column. If the case goes to court, you will have to pay legal costs separately.
All duplicates, copies and additional applications requiring a notary signature are charged at a separate rate. The average price is 100 rubles per document.

Cost of notary services when registering an inheritance

Legislation / Inheritance and taxes
Heirs by law and/or by will need to prepare in advance financially for the fact that registration of an inheritance will require certain financial costs. For the performance of notarial acts by privately practicing notaries or authorized officials of executive authorities, local governments and consular offices, as well as for their preparation of draft documents, the issuance of copies and duplicates of documents, a state fee is charged. On January 1, 2005, the Federal Law “On Amendments to Parts One and Two of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation and some other legislative acts of the Russian Federation, as well as on the recognition as invalid of certain legislative acts (provisions of legislative acts) of the Russian Federation came into force. In accordance with Article 333.24 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, the amounts of the state duty for performing notarial acts have changed.

For the issuance of certificates of the right to inheritance by law and will, the state duty is:

children, including adopted children, spouse, parents, full brothers and sisters of the testator - 0.3 percent of the value of the inherited property, but not more than 100,000 rubles;
other heirs - 0.6 percent of the value of the inherited property, but not more than 1,000,000 rubles.

For the issuance of a certificate of ownership of a share in property acquired during marriage that is in common ownership of the spouses, including for the issuance of a certificate of ownership in the event of the death of one of the spouses - 200 rubles.

Upon receipt of a certificate of the right to inheritance in relation to property located abroad - a one-time amount of the minimum wage. In the final determination of the value of the inherited property - in the above-determined amounts, respectively, for heirs of the first priority and heirs of other priority.

for certifying applications for the issuance of a certificate of inheritance - 100 rubles;
for a certificate of refusal to enter into an inheritance - 500 rubles;
for certification of wills - 100 rubles;
for certifying an order to cancel a will - 500 rubles;
for issuing duplicate documents - 100 rubles.

In addition to the above mandatory

payments, it is worth adding the costs of additional documents, depending on the inherited property.
For example, when inheriting savings from a credit institution (bank), you need to obtain confirmation from the bank, which requires a request from a notary (as a rule, the cost of this request averages 50 rubles/piece
). Check with your notary about other possible payments.

Also, it is worth considering the cost of services for assessing inherited property. According to clause 10 of Article 333.25 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, the following are subject to mandatory assessment:

vehicles ( from 1500-2000 rubles
)
rights of claim ( from 3000 rubles
)
securities ( from 2500 rubles
)
property stored in a bank safe ( from RUB 3,000
)
share in the authorized capital of an enterprise ( from 5,000 rubles
), and more.

What else should you pay attention to?

Read Article 333.38 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. It lists the types of property and categories of citizens who are exempt or pay state duty at a reduced cost. The preferential category includes:

heirs under 18 years of age;
persons with mental disorders;
disabled people falling under the first or second categories pay 50% of the state fee.

When entering into an inheritance, you will have to pay the most for a certificate confirming the right to inherit. The certificate indicates the estimated value of the real estate. You can order a property valuation in the following places:

from independent appraisers;
from cadastral engineers;
in BTI.

If you have several appraisals on hand, you can transfer to the notary the one that indicates the minimum value. This will reduce the state duty and save money.

Entry into rights

The first step of inheritance is taking ownership. When writing such an application, large expenses are not expected. The client only has to pay for witnessing the signature on the document.

The notary fee itself includes two components:

the first part of the costs is state duty;
the second part is payment for legal and technical services.

And if we talk about the capital, then inheriting property here costs 900 rubles. The state fee for entering into an inheritance costs 100 rubles, 800 rubles for notary and technical services.

Important! The cost of notary services when registering an inheritance varies depending on the tariffs in force in the region where the inheritance process is open.

The procedure and cost of entering into an inheritance from a notary

Candidate procedure:

the occurrence of the grounds for receiving an inheritance (registration of a death certificate, entry into force of a court decision recognizing the deceased);
collection of necessary documents (candidate’s passport, deceased’s passport, certificate of the testator’s last place of residence);
contacting the nearest notary office (public or private, but the cost of services in the public one will be lower);
writing an application for opening an inheritance>;
the notary requests information from the database about the possible existence of a will (if there is none, the property is divided in order of priority);
searching for relatives, receiving an application from each applicant;
obtaining data on divisible property;
property valuation;
determination of an exclusive list of candidates;
announcement of the procedure for dividing property, calculation of the value of each heir’s share;
payment of state duty>;
registration of a notarial certificate of inheritance>;
re-registration of property rights to valuables.

Important! It is possible to extend the general period for receiving an inheritance to nine months if one of the candidates has died and his successor takes over.

The cost of entering into an inheritance is formed from payment for the following services:

State fee for issuing a certificate.
Notary technical services.
Valuation of inherited property.
Registration of property rights.

Certificate cost

Most of all, at the stage of receiving the willed property, the notary charges for issuing a certificate of ownership. Such a document is issued six months after the death of the testator. It is formalized only if a whole list of documents is provided, which differs depending on what kind of inherited property is accepted by the heirs.

And how much the receiver will have to pay for registration of the inheritance will depend on how much the inherited object will be valued. Its cost is established on the basis of information presented in extracts from the BTI and land valuation reports. If the heir was able to provide several documents at once, with different cadastral values of the apartment, then we take into account the lower price. The notary uses this value as a basis when drawing up the certificate.

Registration of inheritance for a vehicle

After the will of the deceased has been opened, the car is parked for six months. From now on, it cannot be used even under previously issued powers of attorney. To resume use of the vehicle, you need to re-register the vehicle to the heir owner.

To register it as an inheritance, you must provide documents certifying the heir’s right to the vehicle, such as:

Vehicle passport.
Vehicle registration certificate.
Certificate of valuation of the vehicle.

Registration of inheritance for a land plot

The same documents are used as when receiving an apartment as an inheritance, but made directly for the plot:

Certificate of privatization of housing.
Documents certifying acts of donation, rent, or purchase or sale.
A document certifying the legality of inheritance of an apartment.
Certificate of registration of land ownership.
Documents from the BTI (certificate of the book value or its share at the time of the death of the testator. Cadastral plan and passport. Assessment of the market value of the land).
A certificate from the UFS containing information that the land was not seized.
A certificate confirming the absence of debts received from the tax office.

Registration of inheritance for an apartment

Like everything else, in order to inherit an apartment, a certain set of documents is also required. It is reviewed by a notary, and only on its basis can he determine the legality of inheritance of property and issue a Certificate.

Required set of documents:

Certificate of registration of housing as personal property.
Documents certifying acts of donation, rent, or purchase or sale.
A document certifying the legality of inheritance of an apartment.
Documents received from the BTI (certificate of the book value or the value of the share in the apartment, calculated at the time of the death of the testator. Explication of the apartment. Cadastral passport. Apartment plan (floor plan). Estimation of the value of the apartment on the market).

Sometimes a document is required establishing the heir's right to housing. This happens in situations where he did not live with the testator. A UFS certificate may also be useful. This certificate contains information that the apartment has not been seized.

How much does it cost to register an inheritance and what does the amount consist of?

In accordance with the requirements of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, the state duty is paid immediately before contacting a notary . In other words, before going to a notary’s office regarding inheritance issues. The heirs pay a certain amount of state duty (according to the degree of relationship) at bank institutions. More often in Sberbank, because in commercial banking services such as an additional receipt will increase your expenses.

We recommend reading: What bailiffs do not have the right to arrest

“Professional Code of Notaries of the Russian Federation” of 2001 in paragraph 7.3 of Section III: “notary. should not allow transfer of functions via . production of originals, reproduction of documents to persons other than employees of a notary’s office.” But in practice, not everyone follows the code, which is advisory in nature.

Expenses upon actual inheritance

According to the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, “actually declaring the rights of a successor” means performing one of the following actions:

Own or manage property (for example, move into a house previously owned by a deceased person within a legally established period of time).
Take measures to protect the safety of property (change locks, install an alarm, hire security, etc.).
Pay current expenses - utilities, security, maintenance, etc.
Pay off debt related to the inheritance item (for example, debts for utility bills to contractors).

A state duty will also be added to all of the above expenses, since in order to register ownership, the heir must contact a notary. The law requires the provision of documentary evidence of expenses: repayment receipts, certificate of residence in the apartment, checks and receipts for the purchase of consumables, receipts, certificates of work performed, etc. Only after this can the successor receive a certificate of inheritance and re-register everything in his name.

The actual acceptance of a share of the property means taking possession of the entire property.

How much does it cost to inherit?

The question of how much it costs to inherit from a notary in 2020 requires determining the total amount of property.

Inheriting inexpensive household items will be free.

You should carefully study the provisions of Article 333.34 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, indicating the amount of state duty for performing notarial acts.

The norm does not indicate exact amounts of payment, but indicates a percentage of the total amount of property.

After the death of the testator

After the death of the testator, the inheritance is subject to acceptance by the legal successors by law or by will.

The will of the citizen becomes the basis for payment for the received property.

It is necessary to make sure that the bequeathed property will actually go to the testator in full and that there will be no other legal claimants to it.

By will

The announcement of the will of the testator under an open will or the opening of a closed written will of a citizen will be free.

You will have to pay for the purchase of forms and notarization of the protocol.

Further actions to register the inheritance are subject to payment in accordance with the general procedure.

Attention is paid to calculating the cost of state fees and forms of inheritance certificates.

By law (without a will)

The amount of payment of the state fee, registration of the certificate and other mandatory forms will be similar to the actions required to enter into an inheritance under a will.

Costs may be in addition to litigation costs if:

heirs cannot divide the property mass;
upon entering into an inheritance, other legal successors appear who demand their share.

The amount of inheritance is on average 15-60 thousand rubles.

For an apartment

The question depends on the volume and cost of living space.

If it is inherited by several owners, then each of them must pay their share of the costs.

Additional costs may be associated with:

conducting an assessment of living space;
elimination of illegal redevelopment in it;
installation of communications, etc.

On house

If a residential building is inherited, then attention should be paid to registering the right to the adjacent land plot, garage and outbuildings.

Expenses when inheriting a private home are borne by all heirs - by law or by will, including those who receive part of the living space as a compulsory share.

The relatives of the deceased have the right to inheritance after death. Are you interested in judicial practice on restoring the deadline for accepting an inheritance? See here.
