Many people know what joint ownership of property is. Common ownership involves the presence of one object at the disposal of several persons at once.
At the same time, shares in housing may or may not be allocated. If, by law or agreement, the shares are not divided between the owners, then they are divided between them into equal parts.
Property is distinguished, both divisible and indivisible, which includes an inherited property that is not subject to division from the point of view of law or technical features. Shared ownership of a house and land differs in some nuances in the implementation by owners of their own rights and obligations.
Kinds
Common property differs according to ownership boundaries:
- Joint . This includes property that was acquired jointly by spouses over many years of marriage.
- Share. It assumes a clear division and recording of the share in the registration documents. In this case, the owners can be both relatives and strangers to each other.
For real estate objects, the right of ownership extends to the following property:
- Residential building with a plot of land.
- Garage.
- Apartment.
- Land allotment or share.
What is shared ownership
Land can belong to several owners, each of whom owns their own specific part of the land. According to the Civil Code, the shares of such owners are equal, unless otherwise established by additional documents. For example, certain sizes of parts of a land plot may be specified in a will.
It is important to know that a special agreement can be established between the owners, providing for an increase in the share of any of them. This occurs due to material and labor investments. Such improvements may or may not be severable. Separable improvements include, for example, the purchase of agricultural machinery. Inseparable improvements are fertilizers, hiring of labor, etc. Based on an agreement, this owner may be paid compensation or an increased share.
Peculiarities
Shared property arises in the event of the exercise of civil rights in the event of:
- Legal inheritance or inheritance of a housing property by will.
- Inheritance by court decision.
- During the privatization of a property.
- When receiving housing as a gift.
- If joint farming activities were carried out.
- Joint construction of both residential and non-residential structures.
- Conclusion of a marriage contract.
- Joint purchase of property by several persons.
The size of the shares is determined in accordance with the law or an agreement reached. If it cannot be established, then equal rights are distributed among the owners.
On house
Legal aspects regarding the house and the surrounding land are determined by agreement between the owners or by law.
ATTENTION! In the case when the emergence of property rights concerns the heirs of the first priority, the size of the parts between them is determined in equal amounts, and the property is distributed according to the actual number of heirs.
According to the law, it is possible not to determine shares in joint ownership.
For agricultural land
Such ownership means the ability to dispose of a land plot by several persons at once. According to practice, shared ownership of a land plot can be immediately distributed among hundreds of shareholders .
In this case, we are talking about agricultural land, the ownership of which arose after the collapse of collective farms. Such lands are often used either for growing products or for housing construction.
There are no prohibitions on the acquisition and sale of land, but there are certain restrictions regarding the transfer of shares to third parties.
Since the common share in a land plot has several owners, when planning an exchange, lease or sale, the owners must contact the other participants to obtain permission to separate their land share from the common property.
The meeting of shareholders determines the place where the plot of land will be allocated. Then the site is surveyed and a mandatory cadastral number is assigned to it.
ATTENTION! Without fail, the shareholder must inform all owners of his intention to allocate a share and hold a meeting, where the shareholders approve the boundary plan, and also draw up a protocol with the signing of an act of approval of the boundaries of the new plot.
The owner of the allocated share receives the remaining documents from Rosreestr.
For an apartment
Basically, joint shareholders become in the event of privatization of an apartment, or at the time spouses purchase joint housing. The law provides for the registration of joint ownership of an apartment in a new building by several persons who together participate in financing the construction in accordance with the drawn up agreement.
In the case of joint disposal of an apartment, some difficulties may arise if one of the owners does not fulfill his obligations.
Types and forms of land ownership
In accordance with paragraph 2 of Art. 9 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation and Art. 209-217 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation in Russia establishes: private ownership of land by citizens and legal entities, state (federal and constituent entities of the Russian Federation), municipal and other forms of ownership. Citizens can have land plots on the basis of not only individual, but also common shared (with a certain share of each owner) and common joint (without determining the shares of each) property. The right of ownership of land is realized through the forms and types of ownership of land plots that make up the land fund of Russia. In the Land Code of the Russian Federation of October 25, 2001 No. 136-FZ (hereinafter referred to as the Land Code of the Russian Federation) in Art. 5 defines the participants in land relations (which include citizens, legal entities, the Russian Federation, constituent entities of the Russian Federation, municipalities). According to the subject composition (according to Article 212 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation), the following forms of land ownership are distinguished:
- private property - carried out and implemented by the power of individual citizens and groups in their interests;
- state property - implemented by the state in the interests of the entire society;
- municipal property - implemented by local government authorities in the interests of the population of a particular municipality;
- other forms of ownership are mixed.
Until recently, the concept of “collective shared ownership of land” was widely used. Today, domestic legislation does not provide for this form of common ownership. Including in relation to land legal relations. However, a significant number of plots received on the basis of the provisions of the articles of the Land Code of the RSFSR still remain in the ownership of citizens. In fact, this form of common ownership in most respects coincides with the modern right of common joint property.
Shareholders' rights
Common ownership is characterized by the following rights:
- Possession.
- Use.
- You can use your vote in the event of solving problems that arise that are related to common housing.
- Owners cannot own a certain portion of the property.
- Use income received from the use of common property.
- Dispose of a part of the property equal to your share.
- Accept compensation for the use of your share by a third party.
The main feature of owning a share right is the coordination of all ongoing activities related to one’s share with neighbors in the property, that is, other owners.
If one of the share owners does not agree with any action in relation to the common property, then all actions will be considered illegal.
What rights do owners have?
Relations between owners of a part of the property are regulated by the following documents:
- Constitution of the Russian Federation;
- Land Code;
- Civil Code;
- Federal Laws.
Participants in common shared ownership are co-owners of a land plot, that is, those citizens who have property rights to it.
If we are talking about plots that are in common shared ownership, then the owners have the right to own, use and dispose of the land.
That is, each owner of a part of the plot has the right:
- sell, pledge, exchange your part, having previously taken advantage of the right of first refusal. That is, first of all, the co-owners must offer their share in the land plot;
- cultivate the land, collect fruits;
- erect buildings.
However, the costs of maintaining the land are shared among all co-owners.
But all actions that must be performed with the allotment can be decided only at a general meeting of participants. It means the totality of all co-owners of a land plot, who together make decisions concerning it.
The initiator of such a council may be:
- co-owner;
- ownership group;
- local authorities.
If the meeting is organized by the local administration, then it must notify all participants 40 days in advance by posting an announcement on the Internet, mass media, and information boards.
In the case where such a council is initiated by a co-owner or a group of owners, the local administration must be notified in writing.
- Such notice must indicate:
- date and time of the event;
- address;
- agenda;
- where you can get acquainted with official papers related to this issue.
At least 20% of the total number must be present at the meeting. Only then will it be considered legitimate.
All those present must provide personal identification and proof of ownership.
Decision making is carried out by voting. One owner has one vote. The resolution is adopted by a majority and the results of the selection are documented in a protocol.
At such meetings the following decisions are made:
- leasing of land, trust management;
- sale of allotment;
- allocation of part of the plot to a new shareholder;
- choosing a citizen who will represent the interests of the participants;
- increasing part of the land plot of one of the shareholders;
- carry out or approve a land surveying project;
- approve the list of owners.
A representative of the meeting can act on its behalf, but only after submitting the appropriate minutes.
Service living quarters can be very useful.

Selling property
Each shareholder has the right to transfer his part of the property to another person and withdraw from property relations. The sale of housing that is in common ownership has some peculiarities.
To begin with, a person who decides to sell his part must offer to buy it to other owners of the property. Such a warning must be in writing.
IMPORTANT! Other owners can either draw up a written refusal or give their consent to the purchase. In the absence of such consent or refusal within a month, the share may be sold to a stranger.
The original terms of sale must be maintained. They should not be more profitable than those that were established for other participants. The sale of a share of land can take place subject to the following conditions:
- The shared plot has been surveyed and is registered in the cadastral register.
- The owners of the remaining parts of the land refused to purchase the share being sold.
- The sale of the share will not interfere with further economic activity on the land plot.
- Along with the alienation of the share of land located under a private house, the corresponding part of it is also subject to sale.

16. Wording of the will: I bequeath a house and a plot of land belonging to me to my children as common property in equal shares. The will does not state joint ownership of all property. How to understand the main essence of a will and what to do correctly if the owners do not agree to the general sale of the property.
16.1. Property may be in common ownership with the determination of the share of each owner in the right of ownership (common ownership) or without determining such shares (joint ownership). However, this property, even divided into shares, belongs to all its owners. Unfortunately, the share is not the entire apartment, and it will not be possible to sell it simply by putting it on the market. Before selling his property, the co-shareholder must offer a share to his neighbors. The procedure is regulated by Article 250 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. At the same time, you don’t just need to offer it, you need to do it in writing. You must send a notice indicating the price. As a rule, letters with return receipt are used for this. If the co-shareholders do not want to purchase the part of the apartment being sold within a month from the date of receipt of the letter or renounce the preemptive right in writing before the expiration of the period, you can safely put your property up for sale. At the same time, there is an important nuance: you need to sell your share exactly at the price and on the same terms that you offered to other shareholders. If you deviate from these conditions (for example, by changing the price during the sale to a lower one), other owners can sue you and challenge the sale. The exception to this rule is an increase in price. In the event that several shareholders decide to purchase a share at once, the seller himself can choose the buyer.

18.1. Hello. Jointly acquired property is divided in half, or one property and the other half of its value. The value is determined by the appraiser if there is a dispute. If a share in an apartment and a car were received during marriage for compensation, then they are also joint property.

Income distribution
As a result of personal use of a common property, its rental or sale, owners can receive a common income. Since property is common, funds cannot belong to only one owner. In this case, the question arises of how to correctly divide the income between all owners.
The distribution of income between owners is not regulated by law.
Owners must resolve this issue collectively.
The state only determines the documentation of the decision made by the owners on the distribution of funds received. Basically, the income received is divided in proportion to the size of the share. However, the efforts made by each owner in obtaining the money are taken into account.
The documentation must consist of a purchase and sale agreement and an additional agreement drawn up by the owners of the property.
ATTENTION! In order for all actions to be correct, legal and cannot be challenged in the future, you need to contact a qualified lawyer who will tell you when selling shared ownership how to draw up the necessary documents.
Common ownership of a plot of an apartment building
Participants in the shared construction of multi-storey new buildings, after putting the house into operation, settling in with its residents and receiving a certificate of share in the right to an apartment, have a choice regarding the land adjacent to the house. It consists of options:
- Lease rights from the municipality.
- Ownership.
This issue is resolved at a general meeting and with the consent of all residents, the site allocated for the functioning of this residential building can be privatized. Each resident has equal rights to use the site.
Typically, the site is used for the arrangement of children's playgrounds, flower beds, parking lots and other needs of the residents of the house.
After privatization, the share of each resident in the right to the plot is determined in proportion to the share in the right to the residential premises. But in apartment buildings such rules are practically not accepted, since they deprive residents of the benefits that common use gives them.
Impossibility of partition
Common ownership of a one-room apartment often in practice leads to the fact that it is not possible to divide it. According to civil law, the impossibility of dividing common property does not prohibit owners from petitioning for the establishment of a procedure for disposing of common property .
On the basis of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the disposal of property that is jointly owned occurs in accordance with the adopted general agreement of all owners. If it is not possible to reach a compromise, such an order is established through the court.
Common joint ownership
All rights and obligations associated with common shared ownership of a land plot are regulated by the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, according to which it is possible to own real estate jointly.
Each of the co-owners receives the right to dispose of joint property, having received the written consent of the other participants or specified in the agreement. Thus, the conditions for co-ownership and operation of a farm plot are contained only in the agreement of the co-owners who have officially expressed their desire to create and engage in joint farming activities.
The rights to dispose of a farm plot are not given to all co-owners, but only to the selected head, who will act not in personal interests, but in the interests of the farm. Despite this, each co-owner has the rights to carry out various transactions. At the same time, other participants can, through the court, declare these transactions invalid if there are grounds for this. These include violation of the rights of other co-owners, damage to property, an illegally signed agreement, unlawful sale, etc.
Quick and easy - we divide the common shared ownership into a land plot!
In the document, the owners voluntarily agree to determine the legal capacity of each participant.
The agreement is signed by all copyright holders.
It is advisable to have it certified at a notary office.
It must be submitted to the local cadastre and cartography office for registration of shares.
The plot must be registered as a property.
Other forms of law do not allow the reorganization of lands through their merger or division.
Features of land ownership
The presence of a share in the right of common shared ownership of a specific land plot implies that the owner disposes of it without limiting each other’s rights.
Moreover, each owner can use the land depending on the size of his share, unless there is another agreement. If for some reason one of them cannot fully exercise his rights as an owner, he can receive compensation for his plot. As for expenses and income, they are all divided between the parties according to the size of their shares. You should also know that the owner of a part of the land has the right to dispose of it not only for profit. He can sell, donate, mortgage or perform any other legal actions.
How to divide a plot of land that is in shared ownership
You will need
- - passport;
- — extract from the cadastral passport of the house;
- - a copy of the cadastral plan of the house;
- — application to the department of architecture and urban planning;
- — conclusion of the expert commission;
- — cadastral passport for each share;
- — cadastral plan for each share;

Instruction 1 When receiving an inheritance, part of which is a residential building, the division can be made by selling and receiving everyone’s share in cash equivalent or by dividing it into parts in kind. There is also a division between co-owners.
For example, there are three participants, but the property can only be divided into two parts. In this case, the owners will have to agree who will get the new plots, and who will receive monetary compensation, after receiving which their right to the land will disappear. Preparing a division agreement When property owners decide who will get what part of the land, and make sure that each of the resulting plots has an acceptable size, they need to record their decision in an agreement, a mandatory part of which is a site plan with the boundaries of the proposed division marked on it.
The document must contain the following information:
- information about the owners of the divided plot and confirmation of their consent to the division;
- address and cadastral number.
