In civil law there is the concept of “shared ownership”.
This means that the apartment belongs not to one owner, but to several. At the same time, not everyone agrees to share the apartment, and without consent, the interested person has only one thing left: to seek help from the state in the person of a judge.
When is it necessary to recognize ownership of a share in an apartment through the court?
You can own a share in an apartment based on the following facts:
- entry into inheritance;
- purchasing an apartment during marriage;
- an improvement to a spouse's property that increases its value.

A notary may refuse to partition if the right is not registered with Rosreestr, for example, there is only a Soviet-style certificate for an apartment.
To prove the right to a share, you need to write a claim to the court, to which you must attach:
- Marriage certificate;
- contract of sale, exchange or privatization;
- certificate for the apartment (or extract from Rosreestr);
- receipt of state duty (you can calculate and print it on the website of any federal court).
In court, you need to declare the right that arose to the share during the marriage.
Another inheritance dispute: one of the legal heirs was unable to inherit on time, and the apartment was divided among other heirs.
The following documents will be ironclad evidence in court:

- certificate of stay in a hospital or other medical social institution;
- another document indicating the validity of missing the deadline for going to the notary.
According to the norms of the Civil Code (Article 1148), heirs other than blood heirs may be:
In this case, the condition must be met: the dependents lived together with the deceased for a year before his death . Along with the claim for recognition of the share, the following documents must be presented to the court:
- certificate of residence (proves the fact of cohabitation);
- child's birth certificate;
- certificate of incapacity for work for adults (pension certificate or certificate of disability).
There is also inheritance by right of transmission. For example, the deceased had three children. One of the children did not live to see the opening of the inheritance, but his children will now inherit his share. In this case, you need to submit a request to the court for recognition of the share and provide the following documents:
- birth certificate of the heir who did not live to see the opening of the inheritance;
- birth certificate of the children of this heir.
Thus, the judge will see the relationship between the deceased (grandfather/grandmother and mother/father) and the right of transmission.
Marital share
According to the norm of Article 34 of the Family Code, all property that spouses acquired during marriage is their common property.
You can divide an apartment into shares both during a divorce and before it.
- the apartment was purchased before the wedding;
- the apartment was gifted to the husband or wife;
- the apartment was privatized, but one of the spouses refused privatization;
- the apartment was inherited.
Also, the apartment will not be divided if a prenuptial agreement was drawn up before the wedding, according to the terms of which the housing is not divided in the event of a divorce.
To request recognition of a share, you must submit the following documents to the court:
- marriage (or divorce) certificate;
- contract of sale and purchase (or exchange) for an apartment.
Important: Article 39 of the Family Code established equality of shares of husband and wife in an apartment, that is, in case of divorce it is divided in half.
The share can be increased in favor of the wife if children remain living with her after the divorce.
Acquiring a share by improving the apartment
The condition for recognition of the share is the fact that, at the expense of the second spouse, the characteristics of the apartment were improved, thereby its value increased. For example, in the wife’s apartment the husband during the marriage:
- carried out communications (water, gas or heat);
- made expensive repairs.
To recognize a share, you must submit a claim to a judge, to which you must attach:
- marriage (or divorce) certificate;
- documents on investments in the apartment (contracts for communications, major repairs, etc.).
Important: nothing will work if the marriage has not been officially registered.
General algorithm of actions
Please note that the statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit is 3 years. If the deadline expires, the court may reject the claim.
- an application to the court is being prepared;
- documents are attached to it (how many parties will be involved in the case, so many copies of documents need to be attached + one for the judge);
- state duty is paid (the price of the claim is calculated depending on the value of the share that needs to be recognized; a receipt can be generated and printed on the website of any federal court).
The claim with documents and a receipt for the state fee can be brought to the court office or sent by mail. The judge has 2 months to consider the case.

In addition, real estate refers to property that is subject to mandatory registration in the prescribed manner. Data on the change of owner must be entered into the Unified State Register.
If there are no documents for out-of-court registration, you must go to court. Let's look at how to file a claim.
Reasons for recognizing ownership of part of a residential premises
The law provides for the possibility of recognizing property rights in court if other options for obtaining rights are impossible. Thus, before initiating a claim, a citizen must receive a refusal from the authorized body. The document is drawn up in writing and attached to the statement of claim.
Situations when you can go to court:
- upon entering into an inheritance, in case of refusal by the notary;
- when privatizing an apartment occupied under a social tenancy agreement;
- when dividing residential premises acquired during marriage;
- when dividing personal housing of citizens after a divorce;
- in the event of the disappearance or death of a citizen before the transaction is properly formalized;
- if the developer or seller fails to fulfill obligations under the sales contract;
- in good faith possession of an ownerless apartment for 15 years or more.

- name and address of the judicial authority;
- Full name, residential address, passport details, telephone number and email address of the applicant;

The types of claims differ depending on the basis for filing a lawsuit. Therefore, to prepare a competent application, it is advisable to seek legal advice.

- Send documents to court.
- Attend court proceedings.
- Get a court decision.
- Conduct state registration of rights in Rosreestr.

- copies of the claim;
- civil passport of the initiator of the process;

Claimant's costs

At the same time, some categories of citizens are exempt from paying the fee. However, this information must be indicated in the claim, after listing the claims.
Among them:
- a claim in defense of a minor or incompetent person;
- the initiators of the process are disabled people of groups 1 and 2.
Sending documents to court
The grounds can be divided into 2 categories:
- Dispute between individuals or citizens and legal entities. The documentation is sent to the city or district court at the location of the disputed apartment.
- Dispute between individuals and government agencies. The application is sent to the arbitration court. A mandatory condition is the provision of a refusal by the state organization to resolve the issue in pre-trial order.

Entry into inheritance
Entry into inheritance is carried out by heirs in two ways:
- Its actual acceptance
- Submitting an application to a notary
Entering into inheritance through court
In the case where you did not contact a notary and did not receive a certificate of inheritance, you will have to formalize your rights as an owner in court, because The notary accepts applications from heirs only within 6 months from the date of death of the testator.
In order to formalize your rights to an apartment or house after the death of the testator, you will need to file a statement of claim presented below, pay the state fee for filing it with the court, and provide the court with the necessary evidence of your rights in relation to this property.
When filing a claim for recognition of your rights as an heir, take an extract from the Unified State Register of Rights (USR). It will be needed so that the court can see that the disputed property (apartment or house) is indeed still registered in the name of the testator.
Who can act as a plaintiff in this claim?
The plaintiff in this claim can be heirs by law and by will. If you are an heir by law, you will need to prove that you actually accepted the inheritance, i.e. performed certain actions indicating this: took possession of the property, paid for its maintenance or repairs, paid the debts of the testator, etc.
When can you go to court?
If you missed the 6-month deadline for contacting a notary, then the law does not provide for a period for going to court if you actually accepted the inheritance.
The law implies that you go to court only to obtain a document confirming your rights to the disputed property. You can contact us for help in drawing up a claim and representing your interests in court.

- Apartment located at: ___________________________;
- Indicate which specific actions you performed from the above.
I, _____________ (indicate full name), am _______ (indicate degree of relationship) in relation to the testator ___________ (indicate full name), who died ___________ (indicate date). I am an heir by law / or by will (specify as appropriate) after the death of the testator. During his lifetime, ______________ (indicate the full name of the testator) owned the property: Until now, the ownership of the above property has been registered in the name of the deceased, i.e. to _________________ (indicate full name). According to an extract from the house register, the testator was registered at the address: ______________ (indicate full name). After the death of the testator, I continued to use the above property. I did not submit an application for acceptance of the inheritance to the notary within the period established by law. Due to the fact that I actually accepted the inheritance, I currently intend to formalize my rights to the inherited property legally. The testator has other first-degree heirs (indicate if you are entering into an inheritance by law and the testator has living parents, children or a spouse. In the head of the claim, indicate them as third parties). The fact of acceptance of the inherited property is confirmed by the fact that I took actions indicating its actual acceptance, in particular, I took possession and management of it, took measures to preserve the inherited property, protect it from encroachment or the attraction of third parties, carried out at my own expense, expenses for the maintenance of the inherited property, paid at his own expense the debts of the testator. Thus, the fact of taking possession can be confirmed by the testimony of witnesses admissible by the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation as a means of proving the above facts. I have the keys to the apartment, because... I continue to live in it. The fact of payment of utilities and maintenance of the apartment is confirmed by receipts for payment of the relevant services (copies of receipts in the attachment). I also paid membership fees to SNT “Yubileiny”, i.e. property included in the inheritance estate (a copy of the Membership Book with notes on payment of fees in the attachment). I believe that I took actions indicating acceptance of the inheritance actually after the death of the testator _________ (indicate full name), who died ______ year. According to Art. 264 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation, the court establishes the facts on which the emergence, change, or termination of personal or property rights of citizens and organizations depends. The court considers cases to establish: the fact of acceptance of the inheritance and the place of opening of the inheritance. In accordance with Art. 1152 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, in order to acquire an inheritance, the heir must accept it. Acceptance by an heir of a part of the inheritance means acceptance of the entire inheritance due to him, no matter what it is and no matter where it is located. According to Art. 1142 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the heirs of the first priority according to the law are the children, spouse and parents of the testator. In accordance with Art. 1112 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation - the inheritance includes things and other property that belonged to the testator on the day the inheritance was opened, including property rights and obligations. According to Art. 1114 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the composition of the inheritance is determined on the day the inheritance is opened. According to Art. 218 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, in the event of the death of a citizen, the right of ownership of property belonging to him is inherited by other persons in accordance with a will or law. In accordance with Art. 1153 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, it is recognized, until otherwise proven, that the heir accepted the inheritance if he performed actions indicating the actual acceptance of the inheritance, in particular, took possession or management of the inherited property, took measures to preserve the inherited property, protect it from encroachment or attractions of third parties, incurred at his own expense expenses for the maintenance of the inherited property, paid at his own expense the debts of the testator or received funds due to the testator from third parties. According to paragraph 34 of the Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated May 29, 2012 No. 9 “On judicial practice in inheritance cases,” the heir who accepted the inheritance, regardless of the time and method of its acceptance, is considered the owner of the inherited property, the bearer of property rights and obligations with the day of opening of the inheritance, regardless of the fact of state registration of rights to the inherited property and its moment (if such registration is provided for by law).
Calculation of claims and the amount of state duty:
— According to the technical passport for the apartment, its inventory value (or indicate its market or cadastral value) is ______ rubles. In total, the amount of claims is _________ rubles (specify calculation). The plaintiff also filed a demand to establish a fact of legal significance. Thus, the amount of state duty payable is ________ rubles (i.e. 000000 + 00000) rubles. I believe that my demands set out in the statement of claim are based on the law.

Statement of claim for recognition of ownership of a ½ share of an apartment By the decision of the _____________ district court of the city ________ dated _________, I, ___________, was recognized as having ownership of a ½ share of apartment No. ___, located at the address: _____________________________My ex-husband, _______________, was also recognized as having ownership of ½ share in the said apartment.
However, _____________ has not lived in the specified living space for more than __ years and to this day his whereabouts are unknown. These circumstances are confirmed by a certificate issued by the Department of Internal Affairs for the district “_____________” of the Internal Affairs Directorate for the Southern Administrative District of __________. Initially, I own all the premises in the apartment.
The right of ownership by virtue of acquisitive prescription can be acquired both for ownerless property and for property owned by another person. Until now, the title owner of the ½ share of the apartment ______________ has not carried out any actions related to the ownership, use and disposal of the specified share in property rights.
In accordance with Art. 218 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the right of ownership to a new thing manufactured or created by a person for himself in compliance with the law and other legal acts is acquired by this person. The right of ownership to fruits, products, income received as a result of the use of property is acquired on the grounds provided for in Article 136 of this Code.
The right of ownership to property that has an owner can be acquired by another person on the basis of a contract of sale, exchange, donation or other transaction for the alienation of this property. In the event of the death of a citizen, the ownership of his property is inherited by other persons in accordance with a will or law.
In cases and in the manner provided for by this Code, a person may acquire ownership rights to property that does not have an owner, to property whose owner is unknown, or to property that the owner has abandoned or to which he has lost ownership on other grounds provided by law. . According to Art.
234 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, a person - a citizen or a legal entity - who is not the owner of property, but who in good faith, openly and continuously owns either his own real estate for fifteen years or other property for five years, acquires the right of ownership of this property (acquisitive prescription ).
The right of ownership to real estate and other property subject to state registration arises in the person who acquired this property by virtue of acquisitive prescription from the moment of such registration.
Before the acquisition of ownership rights to property by virtue of acquisitive prescription, a person who owns the property as his own has the right to protect his possession against third parties who are not the owners of the property, as well as those who do not have the right to own it due to other grounds provided by law or contract.
A person referring to the prescription of possession may add to the time of his possession the entire time during which this property was owned by the one whose legal successor this person is. The fact of long and continuous possession is established in accordance with paragraph 3 of Art.
11 of the Federal Law “On the entry into force of part one of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation”, according to which, “the effect of Article 234 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation (acquisitive prescription) also applies to cases where ownership of property began before January 1, 1995 and continues at the time of entry into force of part one Code".
I am not the owner of ½ share in the ownership of the said apartment, but I have bona fide, openly and continuously owned it as my own real estate for more than __ years. The fact of bona fide possession presupposes that the plaintiff did not know and should not have known about the illegality of possession.
Conscientious ownership is confirmed by the grounds for acquiring a share in the ownership of the apartment at the address: _____________________ Over __ years of personal ownership of the apartment, no third party has claimed property from my possession, including neither the possible owners nor their possible successors. Therefore, the basis for ownership of the apartment follows considered in good faith. The fact of open ownership is confirmed by the fact that I did not hide the fact of owning and living in the specified apartment, I store my property in it, use it for other personal purposes and, in addition, I pay utility bills in good faith and on time. Thus, I believe that that she acquired ownership of a ½ share in the ownership of an apartment located at the address: ______________________________ by virtue of acquisitive prescription.
Based on the above, guided by Art. Art. 218, 234 Civil Code of the Russian Federation, -
- I ASK THE COURT:

Statement of claim for ownership of an apartment
A sample statement of claim for ownership of an apartment, taking into account recent changes in legislation.
The right of ownership of real estate arises in cases provided for by law.
Apartments are acquired as property as a result of privatization of property, as a result of payment of a share in a housing construction cooperative, as a result of the transfer of an apartment under an agreement for shared participation in housing construction, by inheritance, as a result of various transactions, including purchase and sale, donation, exchange .
Ownership of an apartment must be registered in the Unified State Register of Rights to Real Estate and Transactions with It. To confirm ownership of an apartment, a citizen must have an agreement or other document establishing ownership and a certificate of state registration of rights issued by the state registration authority.
If there are no documents confirming the basis for the emergence of the right, the only way out is to go to court with a statement of claim for recognition of ownership of the apartment.
The court's decision in such a case will be a document confirming the plaintiff's ownership rights.
If the rights to the apartment arose as a result of a transaction, and the seller avoids contacting the state registration service in the prescribed manner, a statement of claim must be filed with the court to register the transfer of ownership.
The cost of a claim to recognize ownership of an apartment is determined by its value. The cost of an apartment is determined by an inventory assessment carried out by the technical inventory bureau.
Almost all claims for recognition of ownership of an apartment are considered by district (city) courts, since apartments costing less than 50,000 rubles are practically never found. A statement of claim for recognition of ownership of an apartment is filed with the court at its location, according to the rules of exclusive jurisdiction.

The plaintiff did not appear at the court hearing and asked to consider the case in his absence
The third party of Sberbank of Russia PJSC did not appear at the court hearing; the reasons for the failure to appear are unknown.
The defendant did not appear at the court hearing, did not inform the court about the valid reason for his failure to appear, and did not ask for the case to be considered in his absence. The court considers the case in the absence of the plaintiff and defendant and a third party on the basis of Art. 167 Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation.
Taking into account the consent of the plaintiff’s representative and the provisions of Art. 233 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation, the court considers it possible to consider the case in absentia proceedings. When considering a case in absentia, in accordance with Art.
234 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation, the court is limited to examining the evidence presented by the plaintiff.
Having studied the materials of the civil case, the court considers the claims to be satisfied on the following grounds.
In accordance with Art. 252 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation 1. Property in shared ownership may be divided between its participants by agreement between them. 2. A participant in shared ownership has the right to demand the allocation of his share from the common property. 3.
If the participants in shared ownership fail to reach an agreement on the method and conditions for dividing the common property or the allocation of the share of one of them, the participant in shared ownership has the right to legally demand the allocation in kind of his share from the common property.
If the allocation of a share in kind is not permitted by law or is impossible without disproportionate damage to property in common ownership, the allocated owner has the right to have the value of his share paid to him by other participants in shared ownership. 4.
The disproportion between the property allocated in kind to a participant in shared ownership on the basis of this article and his share in the right of ownership shall be eliminated by payment of an appropriate sum of money or other compensation. Payment of compensation to a participant in shared ownership by the remaining owners instead of allocating his share in kind is permitted with his consent.
In cases where the owner’s share is insignificant, cannot be realistically allocated and he does not have a significant interest in the use of the common property, the court may, even in the absence of the consent of this owner, oblige the remaining participants in the shared ownership to pay him compensation. 5. Upon receipt of compensation in accordance with this article, the owner loses the right to a share in the common property.
In accordance with parts 1, 2, 3, 5 of Article 244 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, property owned by two or more persons belongs to them under the right of common ownership.
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).
Common ownership of property is shared, except for cases when the law provides for the formation of joint ownership of this property. Common ownership of divisible property arises in cases provided for by law or contract.
By agreement of the participants in joint ownership, and if no agreement is reached by a court decision, shared ownership of these persons may be established on the common property.
Part 1 of Article 245 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation provides that if the shares of participants in shared ownership cannot be determined on the basis of law and are not established by agreement of all its participants, the shares are considered equal.
From Part 1 of Article 256 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation it follows that property acquired by spouses during marriage is their joint property, unless an agreement between them establishes a different regime for this property.
