Entering into inheritance is a procedure regulated by law. The rights to property are transferred from the testator after the proclamation of the will. If this document is declared invalid by a court or is missing, then successors are determined legally.
In what cases is an heir recognized as not accepting the inheritance?
If the claiming party is in no hurry to take possession of the property, then it is recognized as inactive. In this case, after the expiration of the period, the heirs, by court decision, are recognized as having refused.
The procedure for removing a claim to inherited property from an heir is shortened if he writes a refusal. Only a document certified by a notary has legal force. The status of renounced inheritance is obtained after the will is read out. Until this moment, it is impossible to refuse bequeathed values.
In Art. 1157 clause 2 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation states that the recipient has the right to refuse the received values even after their acceptance. If the recipient dies before signing the document, this right passes to his relatives. The expression of will must have a legal basis, i.e. notarized.
If the heir wishes to receive the inheritance, but missed the deadline for accepting the inheritance
If the applicant fails to appear at the trial without a valid reason, the applicant is automatically recognized as not accepting the inheritance. But a citizen has the right to apply to the court to return his status as an heir and to accept the bequeathed property.
To apply to a judicial authority, you must generate the following package of documents:
- A correctly written application.
- Personal data of the plaintiff and the deceased, proving their relationship.
- Request for the return of the possibility of accepting an inheritance.
- Evidence of valid reasons why the first-priority plaintiff did not enter into inheritance on time.
- Facts explaining the validity of the claim to the property.
The procedure requires some effort. If the documents are correctly drawn up and the demands are legal, the court takes into account the wishes of the requesting party. If the request is granted, the heir receives 6 months to take possession.
The petition may be refused, since the court has the right to classify failure to appear as a violation of the deadlines for accepting the inheritance without a good reason. In this case, receipt of the property will be denied, and the plaintiff will remain in the status of renounced inheritance.
Return of status is possible if the reason for failure to appear in court is the following circumstances:
- Disease.
- Ignorance of the fact of death.
- Living in another country.
Each of these reasons is proven, the facts of the impossibility of attending the meeting are confirmed.
If the heir does not claim the inheritance and the refusal is not formalized
It often happens that the claiming party does not act. In this case there is no violation of the law. After 6 months, the court makes a decision on assigning the status of a refusal.
Refusal to accept an inheritance is a legal act that is documented. Inaction is not considered a refusal. According to the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the refusal is formalized and certified by a notary.
There are two types of waivers:
- A categorical refusal.
- Refusal in favor of the other claimant.
In the first case, the statement is small in volume, it looks like this:
“I, Petr Vladimirovich Ivanov, renounce my part in the inheritance of my mother Ivanova Lidia Mikhailovna, who died on December 11, 2013.” The cap is filled out by a lawyer.
The text of the second type of petition contains an indication of the person to whom the right of ownership is transferred. For example: “I refuse in favor of Maria Vladimirovna Ivanova, my sister,” etc. The exact templates are available from notaries.
A capable person has the right to independently declare the refusal of inheritance. However, in the case of official incapacity, the person must have the certified consent of a relative or guardian.
Minor citizens have the right to refuse their share. But they cannot act independently. Guardians or parents are issued a special permit from the Guardianship and Trusteeship authorities. In this case, the following documents are required:
- Statement from the legal representative.
- Personal statement written independently (if the person is over 10 years old).
- A document confirming a claim to inherited property.
- A copy of the death certificate.
- Copies of identification documents of representatives.
- A copy of the child's birth certificate or passport (from 14 years old).
- Motivation explaining the reasons for refusing to inherit property.
A response to the request is provided within five working days. An important point that determines some of the nuances in accepting an inheritance is the difference between the concepts of “ownership” and “right of use.”
The right of use does not imply taking possession of the inheritance. In this case, you can abandon the property in favor of another claiming party, but retaining the right of use.
It is not legally necessary to issue a refusal. However, inaction will complicate the progress of the matter. Often, heirs meet their relatives halfway, or enter into a preliminary agreement to reduce costs when accepting property.
There are a number of circumstances in which it is impossible to refuse an inheritance under current law. This is regulated by Art. 1157 and 1158 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, which provides a list of situations that fit this category:
- Inherited property of an escheatable nature.
- Refusal is impossible in favor of those who are obviously deprived of inheritance.
- It is impossible to refuse a share of the inheritance. You can only accept 100% of the property or refuse it completely.
- It is not intended to be waived in favor of persons not specified in the will.
- It is impossible to refuse in favor of third parties who are not relatives of the deceased.
In some cases, refusal may be considered illegal. To do this, it is necessary to prove that the heir was insane, was in a deliberate delusion, became a victim of deception or violence, or was threatened. The victim may try to prove that he did not understand the consequences of his actions.
The main reasons for refusing an inheritance:
- the testator has an outstanding debt, several loans, etc.;
- the property has a price that is incomparable with the costs of legal services and taxes;
- difficulties with the division of movable property;
- dilapidated condition of the property;
- judicial red tape, which takes a lot of effort and time.
Acceptance of inherited property is accompanied by a thorough check of the testator's encumbrance.
Statement of claim for recognition of acceptance of inheritance
In accordance with Art. 1153 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, Part 2, it is possible to determine a person recognized as having accepted the inheritance (until proven otherwise) into ownership rights if:
- the fact of use of the property has been established;
- attempts were recorded on his part to protect the received values from the claims of third parties;
- he spends his funds on maintaining the inherited property;
- repaid the debt of the testator or became the owner of funds due to the deceased.
Activities are carried out within 6 months after the decision is announced. This is an advantage for the successor if interested parties appear who claim to receive the bequeathed values.
Actual consent to accept a valuable inheritance is established by the Federal Notary Chamber. Taking possession is certified by a notary. To do this you need:
- Provide the lawyer with documents confirming your taking possession of the property.
- Apply for a Certificate.
The notary issues a supporting document after examining the case. He has the right to refuse if any violations have been identified or there is evidence of fraud. Inheritance acquires a legal basis after the trial. There are 2 options for this type of statement:
- Establishing the fact of acceptance and recognition of the right to inheritance.
- Resolution recognizing the right to property based on the facts presented.
The first type of petition is filed if there is only one heir, or there are no disputes between potential successors. In the second case, in addition to a request to confirm the fact of acceptance of the property, the application contains a substantiation of the claims of the claiming parties and a request for clarification of the share ranking for each participant in the process.
The claim to the court is legal if one of the claiming parties has actually accepted the use of the inherited estate, but this is disputed by a third party.
The claim for acceptance of inheritance has strict regulations and is verified by the court. A claim is a document that must comply with the established procedure.
The introductory part or “heading” of the claim contains:
- information about the court department;
- personal data of the plaintiff;
- information about third parties (addresses and contact details);
- price of the statement of claim;
- title of the article and description block (personal data of the testator, property, information proving the fact of taking possession of the property).
After the main part there are additional information that is important for the court:
- evidence base (list of documents confirming the legality of the claim);
- applications;
- date, month, year of the claim;
- signature.
Arbitrage practice
In judicial practice, there are common cases when attempts are made to enter into an inheritance of property that has already been taken possession of by one of the heirs. In this case, the party who accepted the property by law confirms the presence of actions confirming the active use of the inheritance and care of the received property.
The subject of disputes may be a residential building. In the event of becoming an heir, mandatory actions are expected to be taken to pay housing and communal services, debts and other costs of maintaining the house. Carrying out major repairs will be an advantage when disputes arise.
Sometimes an agreement is reached between the parties to renounce legal claims to inheritance. This is necessary to bypass the mandatory tax system. One refuses in favor of the other, thereby the tax is paid by one heir, then the relatives resolve the issue of dividing the property privately by prior agreement.
Relinquishment of ownership in favor of relatives while retaining the right to use may be relevant if the potential heir does not have the means to maintain the resulting property. For example, a brother renounces ownership in favor of his sister, but retains the right to reside in it.
Application for recognition as having actually accepted the inheritance
Guided by Articles 194, 198 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation, the court decided: In the claim to Petukhov V.V. to Meshanova L.V. refuse to recognize the heir as not accepting the inheritance. August 29, 2012
In January 1999, my mother died. There are three children left - three sisters. A will was drawn up for me and my younger sister on my mother’s side for property in equal shares (house, land). However, none of us approached the notary with an application to accept the inheritance under the will. We simply began to share the house after our mother’s death.
According to the agreement, my sister had to pay all utility costs and taxes, and I had to maintain the house in proper condition. In the summer of 1999, I purchased building materials to renovate a house (sales receipts were saved), and workers were hired (the contract was saved).
In the summer of 2002, the younger sister moved permanently to another city and never appeared in the house again. It turned out that she had not made any payments on the house, and the debt had accumulated. I paid all my debts (I have receipts).
I am 75 years old, I have lived in this house for 10 years, I keep it in proper condition, I have no debts on taxes and payments. Currently, the middle sister and the younger sister’s daughter are claiming parts of the house.
What statement of claim do I need to file in court in order to register inherited property? Will this be a statement of fact or should there be defendants? Do I have a right to all the property under these circumstances? If not, then what part of the inheritance will belong to me, and what to the middle sister? Does the daughter of a younger sister who did not inherit the right to inheritance?
In the claim to Petukhov V.V. to Meshanova L.V. refuse to recognize the heir as not accepting the inheritance. After listening to the report of judge N.V. Yarotskaya explanations of the plaintiff Petukhov V.V. his representative Savelyev L.V. July 26, 2012

Claim for recognition of the heir as having accepted the inheritance
Home » Inheritance » Statement of claim for recognition of the heir as accepting the inheritance
The standard inheritance procedure involves the heir filing an application with a notary office located at the place of residence of the deceased person.
However, in practice, it happens that a person interested in receiving an inheritance has to apply to a court, after which inheritance occurs on the basis of a court decision.
What does actual acceptance of an inheritance mean?
The term for the actual acceptance of the inheritance mass is disclosed in the Resolution of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated April 23, 1991 No. 2.
- Based on this document, the actions of a person recognized as an heir, aimed at taking possession, protecting, and using the property remaining after the death of the person, constitute the actual acceptance of the inheritance mass.
- The implementation of these actions can be confirmed by the payment of utility bills, the transfer of premises for rent, the return of the original appearance, and so on.
- These actions must be completed no later than 6 months from the date of death of the testator.
- A claim is submitted to the judicial authority in the case where one of the heirs has actually accepted the inheritance, but there are other persons recognized as heirs who do not agree with this.
If such a dispute does not arise, then the procedure for transferring the right is implemented by issuing a certificate of inheritance of property from notaries. In order to actually accept the inheritance, the heir has half a year. If the heir does not contact the notary within the specified period, the deadline is considered missed.
Reinstatement of the deadline is allowed only in the presence of circumstances that can be recognized as valid. Such circumstances may be considered:
- Illness of the heir;
- Lack of information about the death of the testator;
- Residence in the territory of a foreign state.
The procedure for restoring the deadline can only be initiated by going to court, by filing an appropriate claim. If the court considers the presence of these reasons to be valid, it makes a decision to restore the term.
An appeal to the court must be carried out no later than six months from the moment the plaintiff no longer has the circumstances due to which he missed the deadline.
If one of the heirs files a claim to recognize the property as already actually accepted, then a court decision makes the distribution of shares among the remaining heirs. The court decision may also provide for measures to protect the rights of the new heir who actually accepted the property upon receipt of his share of the inheritance.
- If this heir has previously received a certificate of inheritance of property, then after the court makes a decision, it is considered to have no legal force.
- Contacting a notary
- In the case where the heir actually accepted the property, he must record this action in a document that has legal force.
- To do this, he must contact a notary with a corresponding application.
- Next he must:
- Provide information proving the actual acceptance of the inheritance (receipts for payment of utilities, testimony of witnesses, presentation of photographs);
- Submit an application for a certificate of inheritance rights.
If providing such information is impossible, or the notary does not consider it sufficient, the heir may appeal to the judicial authority.
In this case, two different applications can be submitted:
- an application to establish the actual acceptance of the property;
- application for recognition of rights to inheritance, which is actually accepted.
Despite the fact that at first glance these two requirements seem similar, they have a main difference - in the content of the requirements.
The first document is characterized by a requirement to confirm the fact of use of the property as the actual acceptance of the inheritance.
In order for the court to consider that this type of use of the property of a deceased person is its actual acceptance, the interested person presents evidence.
As a rule, such claims are filed when there is only one person recognized as an heir or in the case when there are several heirs, but there is no dispute regarding the inheritance.
- The second document expresses the requirement to recognize the person’s right to receive this property as an inheritance, which he has already actually begun to use.
- Such claims are filed when a dispute arises between heirs over shares of property.
- You can download the statement of claim to recognize the heir as having accepted the inheritance here.
- The second difference between these requirements is the review procedure:
- The first application is considered in special proceedings;
- for the second, litigation is provided.
- The law allows for the execution of one document that expresses several requirements.
- Rules for drawing up a statement of claim
- A statement of claim is a legally significant document that is considered only if it is drawn up in accordance with the requirements specified by the legislator.
- An application submitted to the court must have several parts:
- «Hat" (introductory part), containing:
- Information about the name of the court that will review the document;
- Information about the applicant (full name, place of residence, contact telephone number);
- Information about persons called to participate in the court hearing (other heirs or authorities);
- cost of claim.
- The main part, which begins with the words “Statement of claim for recognition of acceptance of inheritance”;
- The descriptive part includes:
- Information about the deceased person who is the testator (personal data, place of residence, date of death);
- Information about the property mass;
- Information about what actions were taken to actually accept the inheritance (evidence of use of the property, maintaining it in the required condition, paying the costs of its maintenance).
- The part where the heir must indicate what exactly he wants to determine by a court decision (the fact of accepting the inheritance, the fact of having the right to receive this property as an inheritance)
- List of documents attached to the application;
- Date of document preparation;
- Applicant's signature.
