The death of a loved one brings not only moral distress, but also a number of troubles. An obligatory point is the entry into heritage rights. If the deceased had his own property, then the direct heir must deal with the issue of its re-registration and thereby take ownership rights. This issue is regulated by the Civil Code. In order to quickly carry out the inheritance procedure, and the re-registration of the apartment after the death of the owner does not create even more problems for you, then first familiarize yourself in detail with all the intricacies of this issue.
What happens to the apartment after the death of the owner
If real estate is privatized, then it falls into the category of personal property. After the death of its owner, the apartment passes into the property rights of the direct heirs or persons registered in it. If, within a specified time, none of the relatives apply to formalize inheritance rights to the deceased’s real estate, then the apartment becomes the property of the state. This action can only be challenged through court.
The re-registration and procedure for inheriting the property rights of the deceased are fixed in Articles 62, 63 of the Civil Code.
Privatized real estate, like the rest of the property of the deceased, constitutes the estate. Registration of property rights and identification of heirs can occur both by will and by law, but in a strictly established manner, subject to a precise algorithm of actions. Ignoring the sequence of actions and legal order may result in deprivation of inheritance rights.
