Registration of refusal of a share in a privatized apartment

The renunciation of a share in a privatized apartment must be formalized legally in order to avoid possible negative consequences in the future. Read further in the article about how to renounce a share in a privatized apartment voluntarily, during a divorce, or in favor of a relative (mother, father, son, sister, etc.).

Owning real estate is a purely voluntary matter, entailing not only rights, but also responsibilities. If one of the residents does not want to bear the burden of maintaining a share in the apartment, then he has the right to refuse it.

When can a refusal be issued?

The owner has the right to refuse his share at any time. Except in cases where the property is seized. If we are talking about an apartment that is owned by the municipality, then any of the residents will be able to refuse their share in the privatization process.

Download an application for renunciation of a share in a privatized apartment

Moreover, none of those registered in a municipal apartment will be able to privatize their share without the consent and will of the others. Everyone must prepare their own package of documents, or contact a notary, to formalize the waiver of a share in the apartment in favor of one of the others.

Voluntary refusal

A waiver of a share in a privatized apartment can be formalized exclusively voluntarily. No one can force the owner to give up his property.

Moreover, if it is proven in court that the alienation occurred under pressure, under the influence of threats or other coercion, the transaction will be declared invalid. The share in the apartment will be returned to its owner.

However, if the transaction took place in compliance with all the rules and regulations of the law, then it will no longer be possible to return the share in the apartment to the previous owner, except by buying it out from the new owner.

If we are talking about a share in an apartment, the owner of which a citizen has become through privatization, then such a transaction is reversed and is called deprivatization, when the property returns to the ownership of the municipality at the request of the owner.

Refusal in favor of a relative

How to give up a share in a privatized apartment in favor of a relative?

An adult (over 18 years of age) and a legally capable citizen has the legal right to transfer, for a fee or free of charge, his share in a privatized apartment to any other citizen. This could be his relative, for example, mother, father, daughter, sister, brother, grandmother. The law does not prohibit such action.

If we are talking about a minor, then he will not be able to refuse real estate and participate in privatization, even in favor of his own parents.

It is possible to exclude minors from the list of privatization participants only with the permission of the guardianship and trusteeship authorities.

If the apartment has already been privatized, then the guardianship authorities will never allow the children’s share to be given or sold to any relatives, including their mother.

Usually citizens issue a waiver in favor of a relative. There are no restrictions on such transactions by law, except for the shares of children. A relative can buy a share or accept it as a gift. When donating, you will not have to pay income tax. If a citizen refuses a share during privatization, then his part will be equally divided among the remaining owners.

Refusal of inheritance

A share in an apartment may belong to one citizen, and after his death pass by will or by law to another. Moreover, everyone has the right to accept the inheritance or refuse it. Such a refusal is issued only in notarial form.

In the event that such a refusal is formalized in the prescribed manner and within the time limits prescribed by law, the share passes into the inheritance estate, which, in accordance with the law or by probate, is distributed among the remaining heirs in equal shares. If there are no other heirs, the property becomes the property of the state.

The refusal can be issued at a notary's office at your discretion, indicating one of the heirs as the recipient, or distributed among all. This must be indicated in the text of the document.

Refusal in divorce

When an apartment belongs to spouses and is privatized during marriage, upon divorce, by law it must be divided equally between them, or in other proportions established in court.

One of the spouses may renounce his share in favor of the other. However, in any case, the division of property must take place in court. The parties can simplify the procedure by concluding a voluntary agreement on the division of shares, have it certified by a notary and submit it to the court.

The issue of dividing shares in case of divorce can be decided in advance when concluding a marriage contract. There you can immediately state that during a divorce, one spouse renounces his share in favor of the other. The contract must be notarized.

Procedure for renouncing a share in a privatized apartment

There are only two legal ways to refuse a share in a privatized apartment:

First, you need to obtain a document confirming the citizen’s ownership of a share in a privatized apartment. Such a document is currently an extract from the Unified State Register, which can be ordered on the government services portal, at the MFC, as well as at the registration chamber.

Next, you need to draw up a gift agreement or a purchase and sale agreement for a share in the apartment. The buyer or the recipient registers the contract and the transfer of ownership in his name. After this, all rights and obligations of the owner pass to the buyer or recipient.

It is important to remember that the sale of a share in an apartment is impossible without mandatory prior notification to the remaining co-owners of the upcoming transaction. They have a pre-emptive right to buy out this share. If the seller does not comply with these rules and enters into a transaction with a third party, then the remaining co-owners in court may demand to cancel the transaction and transfer the rights of the buyers to them.

If it is decided to give the share to a close relative (spouse, children, parents), then you will not have to think about paying taxes. Tax is imposed on gift transactions with third parties or distant relatives. The tax amount is based on the value of the share, which is most often looked at according to BTI data.

The tax is paid, if required, by the one who accepts a share in the apartment as a gift. The tax rate in 2017 is:

1. 13% of the cost of real estate for citizens of the Russian Federation.
2. 30% of the cost of the share for foreigners and those who live outside the country most of the year.

Consequences of giving up a share

From the very moment a citizen draws up documents for purchase and sale or donation, his ownership right passes to another person. Following this, the former owner is obliged to:

1. Contact the passport office to deregister at this address and register at a new one.
2. Move out of the apartment within the agreed time frame, taking your belongings.

In no way can the former owner prevent the new owner from disposing of the property at his discretion.

The situation is somewhat different in cases where a citizen refused a share in an apartment during privatization. In this case, he retains the right to live in this apartment as long as he wants. He cannot be discharged against his will, even in court. Even if the apartment is sold, this transaction does not cancel the right of this citizen to continue to live in the apartment.  

Refusal of a share in a privatized apartment

Only the owner can decide how to use his property.

And if the owner has the need to give up his share in the apartment or transfer his share to another person, he has the right to do so.

Moreover, the refusal can be formalized in such a way as to allow the privatization of housing in the future. A competent lawyer will explain all the current mechanisms and methods for registering a waiver of a share in an apartment.

Is it possible to renounce a share in a privatized apartment?

If a citizen owns a share in a privatized apartment, he can formally renounce his share of housing at any time (Article 236 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). The right of ownership gives a person the opportunity to make any decisions regarding the property he owns. Giving up a share in a privatized apartment is no exception.

The only situation in which any transactions with property are not allowed is the seizure of this property (ban on registration actions). There is a nuance with municipal and service apartments - voluntary renunciation of the share can only be carried out during the privatization process or after such housing becomes privatized.

At the same time, a citizen will be able to take part in the privatization of this apartment in the future, but the law allows this to be done only until the moment of free transfer of state or municipal housing to a private owner.

Methods of refusal in this case depend on the current ownership status of a particular home, which can be checked in the current extract from the Unified State Real Estate Register (USRN).

The need for refusal may arise when another owner already has a certain share, but it needs to be re-registered (increased), or when a share in a privatized apartment is formed after privatization or receipt of an inheritance.

How does voluntary refusal occur?

Giving up a share in a privatized apartment is always a voluntary procedure. Alienation must not be forced or violent.

If evidence of threats and coercion is discovered regarding the transfer of ownership of the apartment, the transaction will be declared invalid, the due part of the property will be transferred back to the owner, and the perpetrators will face punishment for arbitrariness (Article 330 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).

It is no longer possible to return the voluntarily transferred share. However, if a citizen received ownership rights to an apartment during the privatization process, then the return of his part of the real estate can be returned through deprivatization.

How to refuse in favor of a relative

Renunciation of a share in an apartment can be carried out under the following conditions:

1. The citizen has reached the age of majority and is fully capable.
2. An individual owns this apartment as a property owner.

If these two conditions are met simultaneously, the owner has the full right to refuse the share in his apartment free of charge or sell it under a purchase and sale agreement.

You can transfer property free of charge to absolutely any relative - both close (parents, children, brothers, sisters) and distant ones. If the owner donates his part, then personal income tax will not be withheld from him.

The sale of property implies the receipt of income, therefore, personal income tax will be charged to the seller on a general basis.

Privatization can only take place with the direct participation of the owner. The result will be a formalized ownership of the apartment. Thus, a citizen can voluntarily give up his share in the apartment only after its privatization. The refusal itself in favor of relatives occurs by drawing up a gift agreement. Such an agreement must be certified by a notary.

A citizen who voluntarily renounces his share in a privatized apartment can retain his registration and even live in it for as long as he needs. His rights remain after the sale of the privatized property.

A minor citizen cannot formalize the refusal of part of the apartment. The transfer of shared ownership will cause a deterioration in the living conditions of the minor child, to which the guardianship authorities will immediately pay attention.

Real estate transactions should not affect the interests of minors and incapacitated citizens.

How to refuse an inheritance

A citizen has every right to accept or refuse his inheritance. However, refusal of a share in the apartment is impossible. Inherited property must be accepted in full. Refusal is also made from the entire apartment or other property in its entirety.

To register a waiver of inheritance, you need to contact a notary.

You can renounce your share in the apartment in favor of a specific heir or all relatives. After drawing up the necessary documents, the property passes into the inheritance estate. The inheritance must be evenly distributed among all heirs.

In the absence of other heirs under the will, the property renounced by the sole heir becomes state property.

What are the actions of the parties during a divorce?

The shares of an apartment acquired or privatized during marriage are determined in equal parts during a divorce or established by a court decision. The division of property during a divorce is always carried out in court, which does not exclude the possibility of renunciation of the share of the apartment of one of the spouses in favor of the other.

The law also allows other options for the division of property values ​​- a marriage contract and a voluntary agreement. Both documents establish the rights of spouses to certain parts of the apartment. The agreement can also include a condition that one party renounces its share in the apartment in favor of the other. The parties submit notarized documents to the court.

What methods of refusal are there?

Relinquishment of a share in an apartment must be legal and voluntary. Current legislation provides for two options for alienation - sale and donation of property. Before starting any of these procedures, an extract from the Unified State Register is issued.

Sale

The owner can either sell or change his share in the apartment. Preference in purchasing a share in an apartment is given to other homeowners, but this does not exclude the possibility of selling part of the property to a third party.

Before selling his part, the owner is obliged to notify other owners of this real estate (Article 250 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). The notice must indicate the basic terms of sale and the transaction price.

The owners have thirty days to make a decision on purchasing part of the apartment.

The fact of the transaction is confirmed by the purchase and sale agreement. The transfer of ownership is reflected in the unified state register of rights - the Unified State Register of Rights. If an outsider has become the new owner, then an official document confirming the refusal of the other owners to purchase must be provided to the territorial rights registration authority.

Donation

Donation is another way to give up a share in an apartment. The owner draws up a gift agreement. The donee, in whose favor the alienation is made, must give his official consent to receive the gift.

Donation can be organized before privatization. In this case, the citizen draws up a statement of unwillingness to enter into ownership of real estate. Such an application is subject to notary endorsement.

The donor of the property does not pay personal income tax, but the donee must pay income tax. Personal income tax is calculated according to the current rate - 13% for tax residents of the Russian Federation, 30% for non-residents. The donee must pay personal income tax in the amount of 13% (30%) of the inventory value of the share according to information from the Technical Inventory Bureau (BTI).

How to issue a refusal

Alienation is formalized at the territorial branch of Rosreestr. For certification, the state registration specialist must provide the following documents:

• passports or other identification documents of the parties to the transaction;
• cadastral passport;
• title documents of the owner confirming the competence of his actions regarding part of the housing;
• certificate of state registration of the property;
• gift or sale agreement;
• certificate of ownership of part of the real estate.

If the parties to the transaction have collected and correctly executed all the documents, the state registrar will re-register the ownership rights. If an error was made in the documentation, then your application will simply not be registered. This is why qualified legal assistance is so important when registering a waiver of part of the property.

How to give up a share in a privatized apartment - in favor of the mother, how to register

Owning a share in an apartment or other residential premises is not always convenient. It is not always possible to allocate it, it is difficult to sell, it cannot be pledged, etc.

Therefore, many prefer to formalize the waiver of a share in a privatized apartment.

When can you refuse?

You can give up your share in a privatized apartment at any time when the owner wants it. The exception is the case when the property is under arrest.

The owner's right to dispose of his property includes the ability to do so in any way and at any time.

If the apartment is still municipal or service, then it will be possible to give up the share in it in the process of privatization, that is, transferring it into the ownership of those who live in it.

Such a voluntary refusal does not deprive the person of the opportunity to participate in privatization in the future. But only until the end of the free privatization period.

Voluntarily

You can only give up your share voluntarily. No one can force the owner of the property to part with it.

A transaction may be declared invalid if it is proven that the alienation occurred:

• as a result of deception;
• under the influence of threats or violence.

The property will be returned to the owner.

It is worth remembering that if the transaction was completed in accordance with the law, then it will no longer be possible to return everything to its original state.

That is, in most cases, voluntary renunciation of a share in a privatized apartment is an irreversible step. Except for privatization.

In favor of the mother

A capable adult citizen has the right to transfer his share to any person he wishes. This could be a stranger or a relative, for example, a mother. The law does not establish any restrictions on such actions.

A minor child cannot refuse property that belongs to him or participate in privatization. Even for the benefit of the parents.

However, it is possible to exclude a child from privatization, but only with the consent of the guardianship department. As for part of the privatized apartment, the guardianship authorities do not give permission to donate or sell the child’s property to close relatives, even the mother.

In favor of a relative

Most often, the refusal of a share in an apartment occurs in favor of one of the relatives. The law does not establish restrictions on such transactions, except in cases where the share belongs to a child.

You can sell your share or donate it to a relative. In the latter case, the parties will not have to pay income tax.

You can refuse in someone else's favor during the privatization process. The reason for this is stated in the refusal. Then the apartment will be privatized in equal shares by the remaining relatives.

In case of divorce

One of the spouses may renounce his share in the common property in favor of the other during a divorce. But for this you will have to start dividing the property. After the shares in the apartment are determined, a gift agreement is drawn up.

The second way to renounce your share in a shared apartment in favor of your spouse is to draw up a marriage contract. It will indicate the legal regime of property, including refusal of division in case of divorce.

Such a document is drawn up by a notary.

Methods

The main ways to give up a person’s share in an apartment include:

1. Voluntary refusal of privatization.
2. Giving.
3. Sale.

Refusal to participate in privatization

Every citizen has the right to once receive from the state the residential premises in which he lives, free of charge. This can be done within the time allotted for free privatization. That is, throughout 2018.

Participation in this process is a right, not an obligation.

Consequently, privatization can be abandoned, thereby increasing the shares that will belong to other family members. This should be done in writing, indicating in the application the reasons that prompted such a decision.

Refusal does not deprive the right to take part in the privatization of another apartment, if the deadlines allow.

Inheritance

Transferring an apartment by inheritance cannot be considered a renunciation of one’s property. In this case, the owner does not lose ownership rights; it passes to the heirs only after his death.

A person can renounce his share only during his lifetime, having recorded the transfer of rights.

Donation

Donation is the most common transaction when giving up a share in an already privatized apartment in favor of a close relative.

The ban on such a transaction is established only in relation to shares owned by minors and incapacitated people (Article 575 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). Otherwise, relatives are free to donate their property without restrictions.

Since this transaction is free of charge, it does not give the right to other owners to demand advantages, as in the case of sale or exchange. Their consent to make a donation is not required either. No one has the right to interfere with the implementation of the owner’s will.

Gift tax

Real estate is a very expensive property, which is the income that the recipient receives. And therefore subject to taxation.

An exception is made only for donations made between close relatives. In this case no income tax is paid.

How to give up a share in a privatized apartment?

You can give up your share in an already privatized apartment only by alienating your share through donation or sale.

How to apply - procedure

First of all, you will need to obtain a document certifying ownership of the share. Then - draw up a gift or sale agreement. Since we are talking about real estate, the form of the contract can only be written. And finally - to register the ownership of the new owner.

Here you can download a sample contract for the sale and purchase of a share in a privatized apartment.

Where to go?

You can draw up an agreement yourself by using a standard form and entering the necessary information into it. An essential condition of such an agreement will be its subject, that is, information about exactly what share and what object is being transferred. To comply with all legal requirements, you can seek help from a lawyer.

With the contract and other documents, you must make an appointment with the state registrar at Rosreestr. It is he who will formalize the ownership rights of the new owner of the share in the apartment.

Required documents

In addition to the contract, you will need:

1. Passports of the parties to the transaction.
2. Document of title to the share.
3. Cadastral passport of the apartment.
4. Receipt for payment of state duty.

Sample agreement (application)

The gift agreement must include:

• are there any non-owners registered in the apartment;

• no claims to this share from third parties.

What happens after a refusal?

Let's consider the consequences of giving up a share in a privatized apartment.

Consequences

Relinquishment of a share in an apartment entails a transfer of ownership. In this case, the former owner does not retain any rights to the transferred housing.

He is obliged, at the request of the new owner:

• de-register;
• leave your former home.

Such a citizen cannot prevent further alienation of the share.

If a person voluntarily refuses privatization, then the consequences for him and for the owners of such an apartment will be different.

In particular, a tenant who has signed a refusal to privatize cannot be discharged from the apartment without his consent. This cannot be done even through court. Moreover, even the further sale of such an apartment will not cancel this right.

Refusal of a privatized share in an apartment and registration rules

Many people wonder how to give up a share in a privatized apartment. It cannot always be exchanged, sold, pledged, etc.

Art. 236 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation assigns to a legal entity or citizen the opportunity to renounce the right of ownership of property belonging to him, including residential premises. Refusal of the share of a privatized apartment occurs in several ways, depending on the circumstances.

You have the right to formalize the refusal of a share in a privatized apartment at any time when the owner wants it. The exception is the situation when the living space is under arrest.

The owner's right to dispose of his property includes the ability to do so at any time and by any method.

If the apartment is considered a service or municipal one, it will be possible to give up the share in it during privatization, transferring it into the ownership of those who live in it.

Such a voluntary refusal provides a chance to participate in privatization in the future. But only until the end of the free transfer of state (municipal) property into private hands.

Voluntarily

It is possible to renounce your share only voluntarily. The owner of the property cannot be forced to part with it. The contract may be declared invalid if it is proven that the alienation occurred:

• under the influence of deception;
• as a result of violence or threats.

The property is then returned to the owner. It should be mentioned that if the transaction was made in accordance with the law, it will not be possible to return everything back.

In most cases, voluntary renunciation of a share in privatized housing is irreversible. Except for privatization.

In favor of the mother

In a conflict-free situation, alienation occurs in favor of the parents, for example the mother. To do this, a citizen is obliged to take a direct part in privatization, as well as register ownership of his living space and only after that draw up a donation agreement with a notary for his part of the apartment to the appropriate person.

It is important to take into account that a person who voluntarily committed alienation is not deprived of the right to live in the apartment. In addition, after the privatization of living space, registration and right of residence are retained if this residential space is sold. At the same time, a citizen can become a participant in the privatization of other municipal real estate.

In favor of a relative

There is also a form of alienation in favor of other relatives. The possibility of refusal in favor of relatives is not limited by the state. A minor does not have the right to renounce his share in housing, even when transferring his rights to his parents. The guardianship and trusteeship authorities will not give permission for this, since the living conditions for the child will worsen.

It is easier for a mother to give up her part of the property in favor of the child; however, it must be taken into account that the interests of other minor children should not be affected. Otherwise, you will not receive permission to refuse.

You can give your share to a relative or sell it. In the case of a gift, the parties do not have to pay income taxes.

In case of divorce

One of the spouses has the right to renounce a share of the common property in favor of the other during a divorce. However, for this it is necessary to divide the real estate. Once the shares have been determined, a gift agreement is drawn up.

The second option for renouncing your part in favor of your spouse is to draw up a marriage contract. It requires specifying the legal regime of the property, including refusal of division during divorce proceedings.

This document is drawn up at a notary office.

The main ways to give up a share in an apartment

The main options for refusing a person’s part in a residential area:

• voluntary refusal from privatization;
• sale;
• donation.

The owner does not have the right to dispose of his share in the privatized living space only if interim measures are imposed on this property (ban on registration actions, arrest).

Donation

If we are talking about already privatized housing, donation can be called the simplest and most popular implementation. To conclude a donation agreement for part of the living space, you need to meet the only requirement - obtain the approval of the recipient.

Consequently, the owner of part of the living space transfers the rights to it to another person, thereby abandoning the property. The most common way to exercise the right to refuse a part is to do this before privatization. To do this, you need to write a statement about your unwillingness to be a homeowner and have your will certified by a notary.

Gift tax

If you are ready to give a share in an apartment to a relative (husband, child, sister or brother, grandmother or grandfather), no tax is paid on the gift. The latter is paid only by outsiders. It is calculated depending on the price indicated in the text of the contract, and if there is no such condition in it, from the inventory value according to the BTI.

The tax is paid by the person who received the housing as a gift. His rate is:

1. 13% of the share value – in most cases;
2. for non-residents, that is, persons who spend most of the year outside the Russian Federation - 30%.

Inheritance

If a citizen is an heir to a share in a privatized apartment by law or will, he has the right to refuse the inheritance itself by drawing up a corresponding refusal with a notary. You need to know that partial renunciation of inherited property is impossible. You can refuse in favor of either a specific person or all participants.

Sale and exchange

Part of a privatized apartment can be exchanged or sold. The remaining owners of common property rights have an advantage in acquiring the alienated share over outsiders.

In order to comply with the provisions of Art. 205 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, a person planning to sell his part of the property is obliged to send a notice to the other participants in the property, indicating the price and other conditions of the sale.

The transfer of rights is registered in the state register of rights. The procedure and list of documents are almost the same as for donation. The only difference is that when selling a share to an outsider, you must provide the registration authority with a written waiver of the pre-emptive right of acquisition from the remaining owners.

Procedure: how to issue a refusal

To formalize the refusal, you need to prepare a document that certifies ownership of the share. Next is the purchase and sale or donation agreement. Since we are talking about real estate, it is made only in writing. And in the end - a document on ownership.

Where to go

You can draw up the agreement yourself by taking a standard form and entering the necessary information into it. An important condition of such an agreement is information about which part of the object is being transferred.

To comply with all legal requirements, you can seek help from lawyers. With the contract and other documentation, you need to make an appointment with the state registrar at Rosreestr.

He will formalize the ownership rights of the new participant in the property share.

Sample donation agreement

The donation agreement includes:

• information about the donor and his counterparty;
• size of the part in the specified apartment (cadastral number and address);
• composition of the share (if a division was made);
• the right under which the property belongs to the donor;
• are there any non-owners registered in the residential premises;
• are there any other encumbrances;
• no claims to share from third parties.

In addition to the contract, the following is required:

• passports of the parties to the transaction;
• title documentation for the share;
• cadastral passport;
• document confirming payment of the duty.
