Land rights
Registration of an inheritance for a land plot after death is somewhat different from entering, for example, into the ownership of an apartment. Land holdings can be of several types:
- The object may be owned by the testator. The right of ownership passes to the recipients by law or will.
- The testator received the plot under a lease agreement. As a rule, a citizen can obtain land lease from the administration for a period of up to 49 years. His heirs will have the right to rent the plot until the expiration of the term of use.
- The deceased could receive the land as part of a perpetual tenure. In this case, the testator's right to use the plot passes to the heirs.
If the land was leased or was in perpetual use, the receivers will be able to continue the lease rights. The inheritance of a leased land plot does not provide for the possibility of selling it. The owners in this case will be the lessors (state and local authorities).
The procedure and rules for inheriting land in Ukraine (Article 1225 of the Civil Code of Ukraine)
If a person has the right to a land plot in Ukraine, he can pass it on by inheritance. There are two ways to do this - will or inheritance by law. With the help of a will, the testator has the right to independently determine his successor. In this case, the presence of kinship between the parties does not matter.
Important! Even if there is a will, the obligatory share for the testator’s dependents is deducted from the total inheritance if they are not indicated in the document.
Dependents include minor or adult disabled children, parents or spouse. The size of the obligatory share is half of the part that each of them could have received if there had been no will. But this amount can be reduced by the court in the presence of certain circumstances (Article 1241 of the Civil Code).
Documents for registering an inheritance with a notary
In order to register a land plot by inheritance, the successors of the deceased need to contact a notary office within 6 months from the date of death of the testator. At the notary, candidates for receiving property must write a corresponding application. What do you need to provide?
- Documents proving the testator's rights to the land. This could be a certificate of ownership, sales contracts, an extract from the Unified State Register.
To confirm rights to a land plot, you need to provide a notary with a certificate of ownership. If the plot was received before 1995, then the recipients need to apply for an extract from the authority that issued the plot as their property. Until 1995, ownership certificates had not yet been issued, although the land was transferred to the owner for complete disposal.
- Technical (cadastral) passport of the land plot. The document indicates the plan of the territory.
- Land appraisal results. The document must indicate the market value of the plot. You can also obtain an extract from Rosreestr about the cadastral price of the plot.
- Certificate of the last place of residence of the testator (indicating his registration address).
- An extract from the tax office confirming that the testator has no debts on land taxes.
In addition to documents for the plot, heirs must also provide their documents: passport, death certificate of the testator, evidence of the degree of relationship with the deceased (for example, a birth or marriage certificate). If there was a will, then it also needs to be submitted to a notary.

The situation with land plots under lease causes difficulties during inheritance. If the agreement does not provide for the right to purchase the land and a term for termination of the agreement is specified, then the heir enters into the rights to use the allotment only for the remaining period of the lease. After its completion, he does not become the owner of the property. The contract can be extended only at the will of the lessor.

In the recent past, a dacha was intended for gardening and cultivating a plot of land in order to get a harvest from their beds.

Currently, the concept of a dacha has significantly transformed. And often a house built on a summer cottage is absolutely similar to an ordinary residential building, has all the amenities and all kinds of communications are connected to it. In this regard, one should not confuse a country house and a dacha, although outwardly they may not differ in any way from each other.

Inheritance of a land plot
Legally significant actions with land, as an object of private property, raise many questions among citizens. This is especially true for inheritance of land. But since land use regulation in the Russian Federation is still being established, and many plots of land have been acquired under now-abolished standards, controversial issues arise constantly.
Let's consider how to enter into an inheritance of a land plot without conflicts in the future.
DISCOVERY AND ACCEPTANCE OF AN INHERITANCE
Land belongs to the category of real estate and is included in the inheritance estate. Registration of legal rights occurs according to the general procedure for conducting inheritance cases:
- — The inheritance opens on the day of the actual death of the testator, as well as his recognition as dead by a court decision.
- — In certain situations, relatives of the deceased can inherit a plot as a result of the voluntary renunciation of their rights by the heirs of the first priority or their exclusion from inheritance by court.
- — registration through a representative when the legal heir is unable to attend for a good reason
- - actual acceptance of the inheritance, when the applicant manages the testator’s property, bears maintenance costs, and contributes to the preservation of the object. This method is resorted to if legal deadlines are missed.
- - legal basis for ownership of land in the name of the testator
- - death certificate.
- - cadastral plan of the site - provided upon application
- — tax confirmation of the absence of payment debts
- — a certificate from the Unified State Register confirming the absence of arrests and restrictions on the use of the facility
- - if the plot was acquired by the owner before the entry into force of Federal Law 122 “On state registration of rights to real estate and transactions with it”, the notary may request an extract on the legal “purity” of the land plot
- — Agreement of purchase and sale, donation, exchange of land, which was the basis for registering ownership of the plot. If the land is in perpetual possession with the right of inheritance (this was practiced until 2001), you need to support the grounds with decrees, orders of the administration of the municipality, rural settlement - a copy is ordered from the city archive.
Options for inheritance
The inheritance right to land is realized through the adoption of the object according to the norms of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.
The procedure involves submitting an application to a notary at the place of registration of the testator, who will open an inheritance case. In special cases, other options for inheritance are allowed:
Regardless of the form used, the heir must take possession of the land within 6 months after the opening of the inheritance (the day of the owner’s death).
In accordance with the provisions of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, it is possible to inherit a land plot, as well as other property, as a result of a testamentary disposition of the deceased owner or on a legal basis.
INHERITANCE BY WILL
During his lifetime, the testator can distribute the property at his own discretion, determining the circle of applicants from among relatives, formal strangers, or even legal entities.
A will does not eliminate the need to submit an application to a notary. Registration of inheritance for a plot will require the provision of originals and copies of the following documents:
These papers, together with documents for the rest of the inheritance, must be submitted to the notary within 6 months after the opening of the inheritance. If there are no other applicants for the inheritance, then after collecting the full package of documents, a certificate of the right to inheritance under the will is presented. It should be noted that there is no time frame for obtaining a notarized certificate of inheritance rights. But it is still not recommended to delay the registration of land.
INHERITANCE OF A PLOT BY LAW
If there is no will, the registration of inheritance for the land plot occurs in accordance with Chapter 63 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. There may be several applicants. Property is distributed among all applicants if there are legal grounds.
Applicants for inheritance submit attachments of the above documents to the application, supplementing the package with confirmation of family ties with the testator.
For any form of inheritance, a number of specific documents will be required from the legal owner of the land plot:
Having received a notarized certificate of ownership of the plot, you need to proceed to registering ownership with the Federal Registration Service.
HOW TO REGISTER LAND ALLOCATIONS
The law provides two options for registering land rights.
- 1. In the first case, you can certify ownership of the plot without unnecessary hassle. A documentary package identical to the notary's is submitted to the registration chamber. Thirty days later, the service issues a certificate of state registration of property rights in the name of the applicant.
- 2. The second option involves clarifying the boundaries of the land plot, determining the exact area of the plot, and eliminating possible contradictions with neighbors. The process begins with the work of specialists from a geodetic company. At the request of the copyright holder, land surveying is carried out, cadastral documents (land survey plan) are developed and agreed upon with the owner.
Currently, the Land Code of the Russian Federation does not oblige owners to carry out land surveying. However, the procedure has enormous legal and practical significance: in the process of work, many inconsistencies are revealed that can be eliminated in a timely manner and the boundaries of your land can be fixed on paper.
What can be corrected during land surveying?
- 1) The actual area of the site turned out to be larger than the documented one. According to the “dacha amnesty law” (Federal Law 93), the owner annexes “extra” squares of land free of charge, but not more than 595 square meters. m. Additionally, the consent of the owners of neighboring plots and the approval of the municipality will be required.
- 2) The plot turned out to be smaller than the declared area. The situation is fraught with paperwork:
- - you will have to order a situational plan for the development of the area
- — acts granting ownership rights to a plot
- — contact the administration at the location of the land, the HOA or the board of the DPK for primary documents.
But it’s worth it, since the old documentation indicates the area of the allocated land, geographical coordinates and the shape of the location on the ground.
In most cases, a decrease in land ownership may be a consequence of neighboring “abuses.” For example, neighbors, while erecting a fence or outbuilding, “grabbed” part of the surveyed site. To clarify the situation, surveyors compare the latest coordinates of the disputed plots with cadastral registration data, with the documentary basis for granting land use. Based on the results of a survey of the land by the geodetic service, the neighbors will have to vacate the illegally occupied area.
BENEFITS OF LAND REGISTRATION THROUGH LAND SUPPLY
Direct registration of property rights after inheritance without land surveying will save time and money. I submitted the documents and received the certificate a month later. And the land is owned. However, there is no way to clarify and fix the real boundaries of land ownership. Neighbors can also make claims, which are not always justified.
Geodetic work is guaranteed to eliminate land problems in the future:
Inheritance of a land plot

From this moment, all persons claiming an inheritance have the right to contact a notary’s office, within six months, with a statement of claim to the relevant property. According to current legislation, the inheritance may include money, things, objects of movable or immovable property, including land.
Types of inheritance
Current legislation provides for 2 types of inheritance:
Inheritance according to a will
Entering into an inheritance of a land plot on the basis of a will involves contacting a notary's office with a will, documents confirming the testator's ownership of the land and the fact of the applicant's relationship with the deceased, his death certificate and a corresponding statement. The notary, in turn, will accept the application and issue a list of necessary documentation. The law provides six months for its preparation. If during the specified period no one claims rights to the inheritance. then, if all the documents are available, the notary will issue a certificate of the right to inheritance.
Inheritance according to law
In the absence of a will, the person claiming the inheritance submits to the notary all the same documents, except the will. In this case, the property will be distributed among all applicants in accordance with the priority established by law.
Documents required to inherit a land plot

Registration of land rights
After receiving the certificate, you must:
If the total land area is greater than that stated in the certificate, the new landowner is assigned the right to add free of charge to the existing territory the excess area (no more than 595 sq.m.).

Registration of a plot that was the property of the deceased
Registration of inheritance for land that was owned by the testator is much easier. The entire process of registering the rights of the new owner will not take much time. To transfer rights to the heir, you need to contact Rosreestr. The body chosen is the one that is geographically related to the location of the property. You need to have the following package of documents:
- Death certificates of the previous owner, his title documents for the plot.
- Applicant's passport, grounds for transfer of property rights (inheritance certificate).
- An application written by the applicant for registration of land rights, a check for payment of the state duty (2,000 rubles).
Heirs can begin registration the very next day after receiving the certificate of inheritance. You can submit documents through the multifunctional center or use the Internet service (government services website).
There is no deadline within which to apply for registration of rights. The entire procedure takes 1-2 weeks. After consideration of the application, the heir will be issued an extract from the register (as a title document).
Design nuances
It is worth knowing that by accepting property, the heirs assume all obligations to bear expenses.
If the testator has accumulated arrears of taxes and other payments for the plot, then this amount will go to the receivers. The heirs will need to pay off all debts of the deceased. How to register land as an inheritance if there are buildings on it? If the buildings are legalized and there are ownership rights to them, then you need to submit separate documents for re-registration of rights to the house (or other buildings). It will be more difficult if there is an object on the ground that is not shaped in any way. You will need to contact the registration authority with a request to legalize the construction (if the house has not been completed). If the building is ready, then it will be necessary to obtain registration in court.
If there are several receivers for one land plot, then each of them can apply at any time to register their share. In this case, each of them will need to pay a state fee of 2,000 rubles.
How to inherit and re-register a land plot
Heirs of a land plot should contact a notary as soon as possible, but after consulting with a lawyer. If a citizen has the right to receive real estate and other material assets, he is required to submit an application. Land inheritance in Ukraine has its own characteristics. For example, you need to obtain an extract from the cadastre.

This document is provided only upon application of a notary. Therefore, the procedure is carried out like this:
- the notary draws up a corresponding request and transmits it to the heir;
- he goes to the local department of the State Land Agency and receives an extract.
The request for receipt contains the personal data of the heir. As soon as the extract reaches the notary in charge of the inheritance case, he begins to draw up the documents.
At the stage of applying for an extract, many legal successors are faced with the fact that the privatized land does not have a cadastral number. This happens sometimes. And then potential heirs need to carry out the procedure for entering the plot into the appropriate register.
To do this, you need to contact a lawyer, enter into an agreement, which will organize the relevant work and obtain the latter. Specialists will check the boundaries, establish the boundaries in kind, and then provide the necessary technical documentation.
Important! The documentation will be issued in the name of the deceased owner.
Next, the heirs have to wait until the notary issues the appropriate certificate. It is required to confirm the right to the property of the testator. With the help of a certificate, the legal successor can re-register the plot in his name. Re-registration in Ukraine is carried out by applying to the relevant government agency, whose powers include registration of land ownership. But you can limit yourself to a certificate issued by a notary.
Re-registration of a certificate for a land plot, if ownership is obtained on the basis of inheritance, is the responsibility of a notary. He prepares documents electronically, checks for encumbrances, etc. Registration is carried out based on the submitted papers.
The standard registration procedure lasts no more than 5 days. This period can be either shortened or extended. As for the extension of the period, the procedure is carried out by suspending registration for the heir to perform certain actions. If within 1 month the future owner does not fulfill this condition, registration of ownership will be denied. But this does not deprive him of the right to reapply.
With an accelerated state registration procedure, the amount of the administrative fee (duty) increases.
Registration in the absence of property rights
Often, when inheriting a land plot, it may be discovered that the documents are lost or drawn up according to the old model. From the point of view of the law, there is a difficulty in recognizing the rights of the testator to the land and, consequently, the rights of new successors to it. Let's look at two main situations that receivers may face.
Documents are drawn up according to the old format
If the testator had old-style documents for the land, then it will not be difficult for the heirs to formalize the inheritance of the land. The existing papers will only be needed to submit them to the notary’s office to formalize the inheritance case. Receivers will also need to conduct an assessment of the land plot. This is necessary for the notary, who, based on the established amount, will calculate the state fee for entry.
To register an inheritance for a land plot, it is necessary to survey the plot and contact the cadastral authority for registration. Heirs must contact Rosreestr to obtain new documents for property, register the land and obtain rights under inheritance.
If there are no property documents
In the absence of title documents for the land, the right of the testator and his successors will need to be proven in court. As a rule, disputes occur regarding dacha plots that were used by relatives. When filing a claim in court, heirs must provide evidence of the use of the land. They may be:
- Statements of payment of taxes, membership fees and other partnership fees.
- A document from the partnership indicating information about the allocation of the plot to the testator.
- Cadastral passport (if available).
If the deceased did not have documents for the plot, then his successors need to survey the land and contact Rosreestr for delivery to cadastral registration.
After a court decision is made on the recognition of property rights and the execution of all the necessary documents, the receivers can formalize ownership of the land by inheritance.
Features of inheritance of land shares: by law and will
Land can also be transferred by law. This method is used if the owner did not have time to draw up a will for the house and land or it was challenged and declared invalid. Article 1261 of the Civil Code establishes several lines of heirs:
- 1st stage (Article 1261 of the Civil Code). These are the children, spouses and parents of the deceased property owner.
- 2nd stage (Article 1262 of the Civil Code). Brothers, sisters, grandparents.
- 3rd stage (Article 1263 of the Civil Code). Uncle and aunt of the deceased.
- 4th stage (Article 1264 of the Civil Code). Citizens who lived with the testator for at least 5 years before his death.
- 5th stage (Article 1265 of the Civil Code). Other relatives up to the sixth generation.
To accept a legal inheritance and register land as a property, you must go through all the stages of the procedure established by law. Then, when a distant relative inherits a land plot, he will have to pay a tax (5%).
Inheriting a plot that is under long-term lease
The Civil Code of the Russian Federation provides for the possibility of transferring a plot of land that is leased by inheritance. In this case, the successors of the land plot user have the opportunity to use the land for the remaining period of the lease under the agreement.
To transfer the rights to the leased plot, the receivers need to go to court or directly to the lessor. After this, it will be possible to obtain the land for further use.
You cannot inherit a plot of land if the lease agreement contains a clause on termination of the lease in the event of the death of the tenant. It is also impossible to obtain land if the heirs have not claimed rights to it within one year.
Difference between deed of gift and will
If the testator, during his lifetime, decided to dispose of the land he owned, he most likely made a will. With the help of this document, in accordance with Art. 1119 of the Civil Code, he has the right to transfer the property included in his property to anyone, rejecting inheritance by law and depriving his relatives of inheritance.
Thus, any person can receive a will for land if it was the will of the deceased. The exception is the mandatory share, which, according to Art. 1149 of the Civil Code, the testator has no right to circumvent.
In particular, it must be in writing, be notarized and express the will of one person - otherwise it will be considered void.
In addition, the testator himself must be of clear mind and sound memory, otherwise his will may be challenged by interested parties in court.
More detailed information on this subject can be found in the publication “Inheritance by Will”.

According to Art. 1120 of the Civil Code, any property of the testator can be included in the inheritance mass transferred by will, so he can transfer not only the land, but also the real estate located on it, in particular, a house.
This whole process also occurs in the general manner, but with a caveat: if the house and land belonged to one person, transferring one object without the other is prohibited by law.
This means that the will cannot contain the will of the testator, according to which the property is bequeathed without a land plot, or vice versa.
The only exception is when a house or other inherited building is located on someone else's land. In this case, the successors can be bequeathed only the right to use the plot to the extent that the testator had.
The material “Will for a house and land” will tell you more about this.
If the will for land and other property of the deceased contained unacceptable provisions, did not comply with the form required by law, or violated other conditions for its content, it can be challenged in court.
According to Art. 1131 of the Civil Code, such a will, upon the claim of any interested person, can be declared invalid, but only after the death of the testator and if the will violates the rights of the applicant. Therefore, before registering an inheritance for land after the death of a relative who transferred it under a will, you should verify the validity of the document.
The publication “Who can challenge a will for a house” will help you get more information on this topic. By the way, it is not at all necessary that such an interested person (for example, a first-degree heir) will be able to challenge the entire will. According to Part 4 of Art. 1131 of the Civil Code, it can be declared invalid only partially, in relation to individual orders of the deceased.
If inheritance rights arise among several successors, the division of plots between them requires compliance with a special procedure. So, according to the norms of Art. 1182 of the Civil Code, it requires taking into account the minimum sizes of land plots established for land for a specific purpose.
If such division is impossible, the plot may be transferred to the legal successor - the holder of the preemptive right determined in accordance with Art. 1168 Civil Code.
These are, in particular, heirs who owned the land on equal rights with the testator, as well as those who used it, provided that others had not previously used this land and did not have the right of common ownership.
Such an heir is obliged to compensate other claimants for their losses in accordance with the requirements of Art. 1170 GK.
In the absence of successors with priority rights, all applicants have the right of common shared ownership.
This rule does not apply to land ownership, which was unconditionally inherited.
After six months from the date of death of the testator, the notary issues a certificate of right to inheritance to the successors. However, by virtue of Art. 131 of the Civil Code, ownership of it is subject to state registration.
The procedure as established by Art. 3 of the Federal Law “On State Registration of Real Estate” can be carried out at the branches of Rosreestr or through the MFC.
Registration of land as property by inheritance requires payment of a state fee, the amount of which is determined by Art. 333.33 NK in sizes:
- for a whole plot – 350 rubles,
- for a share in it - 100 rubles.
When contacting the registrar, the heirs must submit a package of documents, which includes:
- application for state registration;
- identification documents;
- certificate of inheritance;
- documents establishing property rights;
- documents for land: cadastral passport, plan and others.
A will is always an expression of the will of the testator, according to which someone may be deprived of the inheritance, and someone may receive a larger share. There are no restrictions regarding the bequeathed plot of land.
Important! You just need to remember the basic requirements imposed by law on the form and procedure for drawing up a will. They are fixed in
1124 article of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.
Main contents of the requirements:
- written form;
- notary certified;
- without the date of its certification and the place of execution is invalid.
This article explains how to correctly draw up a will for a plot and a house.

Russian courts today are overcrowded with cases of inheritance disputes. This often happens due to citizens’ ignorance of the laws. Therefore, you should carry out all actions established by the state in time to receive an inheritance, so that it is easier to defend your rights.
Inheritance of a summer cottage
If the deceased used land that was in a gardening partnership, then his successors may also receive the right to use this territory. To do this, you need to contact the head of the cooperative with a certificate of inheritance and an application for admission to the ranks of members of the partnership.
Registration of a land plot, especially in the absence of documents, is always a troublesome process. Not each of the heirs is familiar with the procedure and is aware of what actions need to be performed. If you have become a successor and inherited a land plot, then on our website you can get free legal assistance. Ask your question to a qualified specialist and receive a detailed answer about your rights and options.
Inheritance of a pledged land plot
If the transferred land is pledged, then this is not an obstacle to its inheritance, either by law or by will; however, in addition to property, debt obligations to the bank are also transferred to the person.
However, the law provides for a limit on the heir's liability for the obligations of the deceased. Liability is limited to the value of the property.
In the event of the death of the rent payer, the inheritance, along with the land plot, includes the obligation to pay the rent recipient a certain amount of money or provide funds for its maintenance in another form.
How to inherit land with and without a house?
The legal successors of the deceased receive land not only by right of ownership: even if they cannot inherit a land plot on the right of perpetual use, but, as provided for in Art. 1181 of the Civil Code, can receive it on the basis of inheritance of the right of lifelong ownership.
As with the general procedure, such a right is part of the inheritance and includes the opportunity to use the water bodies of the land, its soil and vegetation cover.

Acceptance of the right of lifelong use does not require the heirs to obtain special permission - inheritance occurs on a general basis.
The owner of such rights can only be an individual - organizations cannot inherit them.
This right requires state registration, and can also be taken away from the heirs if there are grounds established by Art. 45 of the Land Code.
During the era of the USSR, the concept of “private property” did not exist. The land belonged to the state, the citizens of the country used the land for an unlimited time, that is, the use was indefinite. Such land passed to the heirs after the death of the owner. This was the only chance to dispose of the land plot; it was not allowed to sell or give it away.
Currently, land is not provided with the right of lifelong inheritable ownership. However, those who received land before 2001 still retain this right, but can transfer it to their heirs only after registration of ownership. Thus, the right of lifelong inheritable ownership is a method of ownership of land acquired by citizens from state or municipal property before the entry into force of the Land Code of the Russian Federation.
A land plot with the right of lifelong unlimited use can be registered as a property after the death of the owner only in two cases:
- Extrajudicial. The heir can buy this land from the state if there are any buildings on the site.
- Through the court. If the procedure for transferring land into ownership began during the life of the testator, but he did not have time to complete it, then the heir has the right to complete the process.
What is the right of lifelong inheritable ownership of a land plot, how to obtain it and what difficulties can be encountered is discussed in a separate article.
The transfer of a land plot in the manner of accepting an inheritance does not imply that the residential or commercial buildings located on it are transferred with it, only natural resources - soil, plants, reservoirs. Therefore, if a person becomes the heir to a land plot, then he will not get a house or other real estate located on the plot, but owned by another person.
Although clause 1.5 of Art. 1 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation states that all objects inseparable from the land follow the fate of the land plots; this does not mean that the ownership of the land is transferred along with the real estate.
Simultaneously with the land plot, the inheritance of the house occurs only when they are both owned by the same person (Article 39.33 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation). It is impossible to divide such property in any other way. If there are several heirs, then each should receive part of the house and part of the land. If dividing equally does not work out, then the owner of the majority can purchase shares of the rest.
Note! If land has been inherited, and the buildings on its surface are owned by another person, then the heir does not have any right to them.
On the contrary, the owner has the obligation to ensure that the owner of the building or structure has the use of the land plot under the same conditions.
Our material describes what is necessary to register an inheritance for a plot and a house.
