Property owned by the owner can be sold, inherited, or given to another person. The citizen himself has the right to decide how to deal with it.
It is important to take into account the requirements of land and civil legislation when drawing up a transaction. Therefore, before you formalize the donation of a house and land, you need to contact a specialist. He will talk about the main points of the deal and the nuances provided for in 2023.

What it is
A deed of gift is a document that confirms the completion of a civil transaction. It provides for the transfer of rights to property. This could be a house and the land underneath it.
The transaction is carried out free of charge. It is important that both parties agree to its implementation.
After registration of the deed of gift, ownership passes from the donor to the donee. From this moment on, he can dispose of the property at his own discretion.
The agreement is unilateral. The transfer of property occurs solely through the actions of the donor. The recipient must only accept the gift. If any conditions for completing a transaction are prescribed in the deed of gift, it is recognized as void or reclassified into another type.
The property may not be transferred at the time of signing the agreement, but after some time. But after the death of the donor, the procedure is not carried out. In this case, a will must be drawn up.
The consent of other owners when donating is not required. Therefore, you can draw up an agreement, bypassing some points. If the land of their house is in joint use with their spouse, then they need to obtain her permission, which is certified by a notary.

Which form of transfer is more profitable?
There are three main types of transfer of rights to property:
- donation;
- will;
- purchase and sale.
It is necessary to highlight some points that distinguish each of the options. A deed of gift is often compared to a will. After all, the transaction also has a gratuitous basis.
But it is worth noting some advantages and disadvantages of a deed of gift compared to the transfer of property after the death of the owner:
- When drawing up a deed of gift, you can fully control the transfer of rights, since the owner is involved in the transaction. In the case of a will, the procedure is carried out after the death of the copyright holder.
- It is not necessary to contact a notary. A deed of gift, unlike a will, can be drawn up by the parties themselves.
- Donation of the entire house is permitted. At the time of will, it is divided among the heirs.
- It is much easier to challenge a will than a deed of gift.
- Tax is not paid on gifts between relatives.
Instead of a deed of gift, a purchase and sale can be formalized. The transaction is carried out on a reimbursable basis. If the owner wants to draw up a deed of gift to hide the fact of the sale and not pay taxes, he will not be able to do this. The agreement will be declared void.
The transfer of a residential property is much easier using a deed of gift. Therefore, many people use this type of document to formalize relationships.

How to draw up a donation agreement for a house and land
To draw up a deed of gift, a simple written form is used. You can draw up the document yourself without involving specialists. It is also possible to contact a notary who uses a standard agreement.
The deed of gift must include the following main points:
- data of the donor and recipient;
- description of the property being donated, indicating the cadastral number, area, number of storeys, technical characteristics, intended purpose;
- the cost of the building and plot, which is contained in the cadastral passport;
- details of title papers;
- an indication of the presence or absence of an encumbrance;
- rights and obligations of each party;
- other conditions.
Ownership rights arise only after registration of the transaction in Rosreestr. In this case, the real estate is alienated.

For minor children
The gift can be transferred to minor children. In this case, you will need to obtain permission from the guardianship authorities or consent given by the mother and father.
When drawing up a deed of gift, you can note in the agreement that the house begins to belong to the son or daughter after they reach the age of 18 years. Until this moment, official representatives must dispose of the property.
In order to exclude the fact of sale of property, it is worth recording this fact in the document. The sale of property and its parts will be prohibited until the minor officially reaches adulthood and assumes the rights of the minor.
To a relative
Often a deed of gift is drawn up between close people. After all, it will be safer to transfer real estate to a relative than to a stranger.
The degree of relationship between the parties must be taken into account. If the property passes into the possession of a close relative, according to the Family Code of the Russian Federation, then there will be no need to pay tax.
Their list includes:
- mother and father;
- son and daughter;
- spouses;
- brother and sister.
Other relatives are not considered close. Therefore, after completing a transaction between them, you will need to pay 13% tax to the state treasury.

Donation is a popular form of alienation of property. In the article we will talk about the features of a donation, how to formalize it, where to go to register the donation of real estate (a house, an apartment or its share, a plot of land, a garage) and, in particular, how to register a donation at the MFC.
Features of donating property
If you want to donate real estate, its owner must draw up a gift agreement (in everyday life - a deed of gift) and sign it on behalf of the donor.
The recipient must also sign to indicate his agreement to receive the gift.
The agreement does not have to be certified by a notary, but it must undergo a mandatory registration procedure with the Office of the Federal Service for State Registration, Cadastre and Cartography (Rosreestr).
The essence of donation is the gratuitous transfer of property from the donor to the donee. A gift agreement is convenient to use in certain cases, for example, as an alternative to a will, or if you want to free property from the danger of division upon divorce.
This form of transaction has certain limitations:
- the donor cannot be an incapacitated person or his representative;
- It is prohibited to give gifts worth more than 3,000 rubles. officials and social workers;
- a gift agreement cannot be concluded between commercial companies.
The donee is required to pay an income tax of 13%, except when the donor is his close relative, which includes:
- parents and children;
- grandparents and grandchildren;
- sisters and brothers;
- spouses.
For this reason, most often a gift agreement is concluded between close relatives.
Please note that a gift agreement can only be canceled under the conditions specified in the agreement itself, or through the court. For this reason, the donor should carefully consider the possible consequences of the act of donation.

To draw up an apartment donation agreement, you do not have to go to a notary: you can draw up an agreement yourself using a ready-made form or sample, which can be downloaded below. The samples comply with the legislation for 2017.
A transfer deed may be attached to the agreement, which records the fact of transfer of property to the donee, but the presence of such a deed is not necessary.

In accordance with generally accepted legal norms, all transactions relating to real estate (residential or non-residential - it does not matter) are subject to income tax of 13%.
But the exception is a gift deed executed between close relatives.
According to the law, the following persons are recognized as close relatives:
- husbands and wives in official marriages;
- moms and dads;
- child (children), in this case it does not matter whether they are adopted or relatives;
- brothers and sisters;
- relatives and grandparents.
A tax benefit is possible when drawing up a donation agreement for a house and a plot of land only between the above-mentioned persons. They are recognized as close relatives at the legislative level and other family ties do not apply to this definition.
Important features of drawing up this agreement for the donation of a house and land include the prohibition on the execution of the document by certain persons. According to the law, you cannot issue a deed of gift:

- against employees of municipal and state bodies on the basis that they fulfilled their official obligations.
How to apply?
A deed of gift for a house and a plot of land is drawn up by the donor himself or a specialist from a notary office. If the owner of the home and the territory adjacent to it independently draws up a document of donation, then you need to know that some nuances must be spelled out in it.
The following must be included in the deed of donation of a house and land:
- a provision that the donor has the right to live in this residential premises. The inclusion of this clause is especially important for older people; it provides them with a guarantee that they have the right to live in the house until their death;
- the document can be drawn up by a representative if there is a power of attorney with notarization;
- the ability of the donee to refuse to take ownership of the house and land. This paragraph should describe the conditions for refusal.
According to the law, real estate received under a gift agreement is not subject to division between spouses after divorce proceedings. A gift transferred to one of the family members is considered only his property, unless otherwise stated in the agreement.
Important details when drawing up and executing this agreement for the donation of a house and land area:

When donating a share of a house and land
A deed of gift for a share of a house and land implies mutual agreement to own the property jointly. By law, it is possible to transfer a share of ownership at the present time or in the future. If there are several owners, and only one of them wants to transfer the share, then written consent is required from the others.
When transferring a share of real estate residential property and land, a detailed description of the entire object is required. For example, the number of rooms and floors, how the rooms are located, whether there are utility rooms, the area of all rooms located in the house is indicated. In accordance with the share gift agreement, the transferred share must be described in detail.
In most cases, donating a share to a close relative implies the allocation of property in kind. Carrying out this procedure means creating conditions for the existence of an independent part of the house, namely:
- separate entrance;
- separate bathroom;
- separate communication system.
After resolving this issue, a construction and technical examination is carried out. The final stage of its implementation is the division of the house between close relatives. Then, such a procedure must be registered, and only after that can the share of housing be donated.
When the object of donation is housing and land, the area of the land is also subject to special registration. To transfer ownership of part of a residential building and a plot of land, a close relative needs to draw up an agreement.

Thus, a gift agreement can be concluded for the purpose of transferring a house and a plot of land free of charge. The transition of two objects at the same time is not surprising, since they almost always must have a common fate. The deed of gift can be drawn up without the participation of a notary or be certified by him. It is important to ensure that all necessary documents are ready in advance so that when drawing up the contract you do not have to restore the missing papers.
Donation of a share (part) of a land plot
In accordance with Art. 572 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation (Civil Code of the Russian Federation), donation is understood as the gratuitous transfer of property into ownership from the donor to the donee. In turn, in this case we are talking not just about property, but about the share of a land plot, i.e. shares in the right of common ownership thereof.
Such deeds of gift are characterized by a simple written form and procedure for state registration of the transfer of ownership. In addition, there are certain features of donating a share of a land plot to relatives, minors, as well as its alienation together with a share of the house.
What is a share (part) of a land plot?
When donating a share (part) of land, interested parties need to have an idea of what it is. Art.
6 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation (LLC RF) provides a complete list of objects of land relations, among which it distinguishes land (natural object and resource), land plots and their parts. This article not only does not disclose the concept of share, but also does not relate it to such objects.
When referring to the norms of civil legislation of the Russian Federation, in particular to Art. 128 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, it can be seen that they also do not belong to the objects of civil rights.
Then a logical question arises about how certain transactions for the alienation of shares of property, including their donation, are carried out? The answer to this can be found by analyzing Chapter 16 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation (provisions on common property).
In accordance with Art. 244 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, shared ownership means the ownership of several persons in relation to one property with the definition of the shares of each of them.
It is important that it does not relate to the division of the property itself, but is a share in the right of common ownership of the land.
This means that any of the owners of one land plot has the right to use it without dividing it into any parts, to the extent that it is necessary for him (if his part is not allocated - Article 11.5 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation), but he can only dispose of it his.
The determination of such shares is carried out in accordance with the rules specified in Art. 245 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, i.e. by agreement of the parties, or in its absence, they are recognized as equal between all co-owners. Exercising the powers specified in Art.
209 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, is also carried out by the co-owners of the site by mutual agreement, but there are restrictions on its disposal.
In this case, it is necessary to obtain the consent of the remaining owners of the site, and when expropriating it for compensation, the rules on the pre-emptive right to purchase must be observed. This follows from Art. 246, 250 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.
How to draw up a donation agreement for a share of land
The donation agreement for a share of a land plot is drawn up according to the rules regulated by Ch. 32 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. They can be divided into general and special . Among the common ones, we highlight the following:
If these general rules are not observed by the parties to the transaction, the donation will be declared invalid (§2 of Chapter 9 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).
Giving involves two parties - the donor and the recipient. The object can be any property, unless it is withdrawn from civil circulation, regardless of cost. In addition to the above, such an agreement may contain conditions precedent for the transfer of the plot to another person (consensual agreement) or contain conditions on legal succession.
Example
Conditions precedent for donating a plot of land include the wedding of the donee, the birth of a child, etc.
Special requirements for registering a donation of a share of a land plot include the following:
- The presence of the will of one party to transfer a gift, and the other to accept it.
- The transfer of ownership of a share of a land plot is subject to state registration in accordance with the requirements of Art. 25 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation, Federal Law No. 122-FZ of July 21, 1997 “On state registration of rights to real estate and transactions with it.”
- The object of the donation - a share of a land plot - involves indicating the characteristics, in particular the address of its location, cadastral number, the total area of the entire plot, the size of the transferred share (if possible, its area), type of permitted use, category of land, reference to the donor's title documents, indication for buildings, if any.
- The deed of gift must determine the value of the transferred share of the plot.
- A reference to the presence or absence of restrictions, encumbrances, or prohibitions on it.
- The possibility of the parties to unilaterally terminate the contract (Articles 573, 577, 578 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).
In order for all of the above conditions to be determined by the deed of gift when it is executed independently, it is necessary to adhere to a certain structure , in which the following components can be distinguished:
- name (donation agreement for a share of land);
- date and place of his imprisonment (preferably in words);
- preamble (name of the parties to the transaction, information about them - full name, place of residence and registration, passport details);
- subject of the contract;
- rights and obligations of the parties;
- special conditions;
- final and transitional provisions;
- signatures.
Donation of a share of a house and land
When donating a share of a house and land, compliance with all the above rules for its registration is required. At the same time, taking into account that the transferred object is not only a share of the land plot, but also the house located on it, it is necessary to indicate in the deed of gift, among other things, such information as:
- Address of the location of the house in which the share is being alienated, its area, material of manufacture, number of floors and rooms, cadastral (or conditional) number, size of the transferred share of the house.
- Information about the donor's title documents for the transferred share of the house.
- Since the house belongs to the category of residential premises (Articles 15-16 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation), it is necessary to indicate in the deed of gift those persons who live in it and use it, regardless of the size of the alienated property.
- The cost of shares of a house and a land plot should be differentiated from each other.
Taking into account all of the above, it should be noted that the transfer of ownership of the shares of both real estate objects is subject to the state registration procedure .
To carry it out, the parties to the transaction need to collect a certain package of documents, as well as pay a state fee ( 350 rubles for a land plot and 2000 rubles for a share of a house - clauses 22, 24, 25, clause 1, article 333.33 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation (Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
Only after this procedure has been completed, the donee will become the full owner of this property.
At the same time, after the transaction is completed, this person is obliged to pay personal income tax (NDFL) in accordance with the requirements of Chapter. 23 Tax Code of the Russian Federation. The amount of this tax is determined based on the value of the transferred property (tax base - Article 210 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation) and the tax rate, usually 13% (Article 224 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). In the case where the donor and donee are close relatives, then from payment The donee is exempt from personal income tax (clause 18.1, clause 1, article 217 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
Donation of 1/2 share of land
Cases often arise when a land plot is owned by two persons, and the shares between them are equal by virtue of Art.
245 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, or if it is jointly owned (but the share is allocated). In this case, upon alienation of 1/2 share of such a plot, all donation rules specified in Chapter.
32 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, taking into account the provisions on common shared ownership and the Land Code of the Russian Federation.
At the same time, in practice, alienation through gift transactions is becoming commonplace not of the entire share of the land plot owned by the donor, but of a certain part of it, say 1/2. In this case, the deed of gift is executed in accordance with all the previously discussed rules, taking into account the fact that the transferred share must be specifically defined in the agreement.
Example
Ivanov wishes to give his grandson 1/2 share of his 1/2 share in the land plot. At the same time, in the deed of gift you can write the wording simpler, like 1/4 share.
The transfer of ownership under such deeds of gift is subject to state registration, and the donee bears the burden of paying personal income tax in accordance with Chapter. 23 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation (unless he is a close relative of the donor).
Donating a share of land to a relative
Donation of property can be made between any persons, both relatives and complete strangers. As a rule, the donor wishes to transfer his share in the land plot to persons with whom he has a trusting relationship, and these are mainly those with whom he has any family ties.
Donating a share of a land plot to a relative is no different in its procedure and registration from donating to any other person. Here it is important to adhere to the rules mentioned above.
A distinctive feature of such deeds of gift is the ability to indicate the degree of relationship between the donor and the recipient. All other conditions remain unchanged.
The main thing that you should pay attention to here is taxation, since if a transaction is made between close relatives, then tax legislation exempts the donee from paying personal income tax (clause 18.
1 clause 1 art. 217 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). To the category of close relatives Art. 14 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation includes spouses, parents and children, adoptive parents and adopted children, grandchildren, grandparents, full and half brothers and sisters.
All other relatives, when receiving a share of a land plot as a gift, bear the burden of paying personal income tax according to the general requirements of Chapter. 23 Tax Code of the Russian Federation.
Example
Other relatives include aunt, uncle, nephews, cousins, in-laws, son-in-law, etc.
Donation of a share of land to a minor child
When donating real estate to a minor, it is necessary to take into account the fact that he always acts through a representative (clause 12 of Art.
5 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, a legal representative means parents, adoptive parents, guardians and trustees).
Thus, the deal is concluded on behalf of the child , but is signed by one of the legal representatives.
Taking into account this feature, it is necessary to indicate not only information about the donee in deeds of gift, i.e. child, but also all the data of his legal representative, since it is he who gives consent to accept the gift and bears the burden of taxation when the minor does not have his own income to pay it in accordance with paragraph 2 of Art. 27 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation (except for cases of close relationship with the donor).
Documents for donating a share in a land plot
When registering deeds of gift, the subject of transfer of which are shares of a land plot, either independently or with the help of a notary (Article 163 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation), it is necessary to have a certain package of documents , which will subsequently be needed to register the transfer of ownership of this share. Among these documents are the following:
- The donor's title documents for the alienated property. As a rule, this includes a certificate of state registration of property rights, as well as the basis on which it was issued (certificate of inheritance, purchase and sale agreement, exchange, donation, etc.)
- Passports of the donor and the recipient.
- If one of the parties acts through a representative, then documents confirming his authority are required.
- Cadastral passport of the land plot, as well as technical documentation for buildings, if any.
- A share valuation report or a certificate from the relevant authority about its value and the value of the entire land plot.
- Notarized consent of the donor's spouse, if the share was acquired during marriage and is jointly acquired property.
- Documents confirming the degree of relationship between the parties, if we are talking about close relatives (marriage certificate, extracts from birth certificates).
When contacting the registration authority, in addition to the specified documents, interested parties to the transaction must have in their hands a signed gift agreement (three copies), a corresponding application for this procedure, a receipt for payment of the state duty, and the consent of the guardianship and trusteeship authorities may also be required in cases where, together with the share of a plot of land, a share of the residential building located on it is transferred, and minors or incapacitated persons live in it.
Is it possible to donate a share of a house without a plot of land?
Often in practice we come across the question of whether it is possible to donate a share of a house without a plot of land? In order to answer this question, let us analyze the following norms of the current legislation of the Russian Federation.
Firstly, it should be noted Art. 209 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, which states that the owner of property has the right to own, use and dispose of the property belonging to them, if this does not contradict the law. In turn, Art. 35 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation provides for situations when the transfer of rights to a land plot is carried out during the transfer of ownership of the building or structure located on it.
In particular, if the land plot (part of it) and the share of the house belong to the donor by right of ownership, they are alienated jointly, except for the following cases:
- when alienating part of the building, if it cannot be allocated in kind along with part of the site;
- the land plot is withdrawn from circulation.
As for the alienation of a share in the right of common ownership, the law in this case is categorical - joint alienation of shares of both the house and the land plot.
However, in some cases, alienation of a share of a house is possible without the land plot on which it is located.
This is the case where the donor does not have title to the land in question, i.e. it is in his use under another proprietary right.
In this case, the Land Code of the Russian Federation provides that the same rights of use that the donor had will be transferred to the new owner of the share of the house.
Conclusion
When considering the topic of donating a share (part) of a land plot, I would like to once again draw attention to the following:
- A share and a part of a land plot are not equivalent concepts in their content.
- A share of a plot of land is a share in the common ownership of it by several persons.
- When donating such property, it is necessary to comply with the requirements for a simple written form of the agreement, state registration of the transfer of ownership, and the prohibition of making a transaction on behalf of minors and incapacitated persons.
- On behalf of minors, their legal representative takes part in such a transaction.
- A transaction involving the alienation of a building (a house or its share) also implies the alienation of a land plot (its share), if both of these objects are owned by the same person.
- When donating a plot to a close relative, the latter is exempt from paying tax on the income received.
Question answer
Can I draw up an agreement to donate a share of a land plot to a distant relative without the consent of the owners of other shares.
Yes, you have this right. When donating, you do not need to comply with the requirements of Art. 250 Civil Code of the Russian Federation.
How can I donate a house to my mother if the land on which it is located is municipal? Do I have to purchase it as my property to register a deed of gift for the house?
You do not need to purchase land to donate a home. In this case, a transaction is made in relation to the house, and the right to use the land plot that you had passes to the new owner of the house.
