The Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, in reviewing the decisions of its colleagues in a separate inheritance case, explained under what circumstances the missed date of succession could not be restored.
Especially when the heir has missed a period of six months, which is known to be six months after the death of a man, after which there is a legacy; and it is well known that only a court can restore the term of six months that has been missed to accept the inheritance.
But not everyone knows that it is not uncommon in a situation where such restoration is not possible.
Thus, the District Court of Krasnodar province asked the citizen to restore to him the date of acceptance of the inheritance left after his father ' s death, and he asked the judges to declare illegal the property of his aunt ' s native property, as well as her certificate of ownership, and to recover legal expenses from his family.
In the court, the plaintiff, a former resident of one of the steps of the province, said that after his father's death, his inheritance was a good house and a large piece of land; he himself was imprisoned in a neighbouring country where he served a 10-year term; his father died a year before he was released.
Which of the marital property cannot be divided between the spouses
The citizen came to his home and turned to the notary, where he found out that the father's sister had inherited the inheritance, but she registered the right to both the house and the land, and now in court the plaintiff proves that he is the heir of the first line and the house with the precinct must be handed over to him.
As a result, the district court restored the time limit to the son and declared him to have accepted the inheritance.
The Aunt ' s certificate of inheritance to the house and the plot is invalid, the EGRP records of the property have been cancelled, and the Ra ' isud has also recognized the son ' s ownership of the plot and the house.
From a relative in favour of his nephew, the court ordered a government order of 44,000 200 rubles, which the District Court accepted.
The defendant went on to complain and went to the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, where they conducted an inspection, and they disagreed with the conclusions of their colleagues, finding in the decisions of the Reddarsk courts "serious violations".
Here are the arguments of the Supreme Court: it appears from the file that the plaintiff's father died in January, that he owned a house and a plot, that he did not leave a will, and according to the records of the inheritance case, at the end of April, two sisters of the deceased came to the notary and claimed that they were the heirs of the second line.
They say that there is the heir of the first line, the son of the brother, but they have not seen him for many years and do not know where he lives. Later, one of the younger sisters refused to inherit in favour of the older one. In autumn, the notary gave the heir a certificate of legal inheritance.
A month later, property rights were also registered.
The Supreme Court has done what it rarely does — the local court's decisions have been reversed and it has itself taken a new decision.
The son of the deceased came to the notary almost a year later, and according to a certificate signed by the director of a foreign prison, the son was serving a sentence of exactly ten years.
The District Court of Krasnodar province, in granting the claim, held that the son had failed to apply for the inheritance on time for "indecent circumstances." He did not or should not have known of his father's death.
On the argument of his mother-in-law for the passage of the period for acceptance of the inheritance, Rasuda argued that the period for acceptance of the inheritance was not a period of limitation, so that the rules on the extension, restoration and suspension of the limitation period did not apply to him; the appeal accepted such conclusions.
The defendant ' s argument that there is no legitimate reason for Rysuda to agree to the restoration of time was ignored by the District Court.
Sovfed approved the law on the joint will of spouses
According to the Civil Division of the Supreme Court, local "judicial decisions have been made with a fundamental violation of substantive law" and cannot be accepted.
Article 1152 of the Civil Code states that in order to acquire the inheritance the heir must accept it; article 1154 states that he may do so within six months of the opening.
The following article of the same Code states that, according to the successor who has missed the time limit, the court may restore and recognize the person who took the inheritance if the heir did not know or should not have known about the opening of the inheritance or if the period was missed for good reasons.
Also in this article, the 1155th states that it is possible to restore the time limit if, within the time limit set for the acceptance of the inheritance, the citizen applies to the court "six months after the reasons for the delay have expired".
There was a special plenary of the Supreme Court (No. 9 of 29 May 2012) "On judicial practice in inheritance cases", and it was stated verbatim that "the requirements to restore the period of acceptance of the inheritance and recognition of the heir to the inheritance can only be met if the following circumstances are proved:
(a) The heir did not and should not have known of the discovery of the inheritance or missed the time limit for other valid reasons.
Respectable reasons include severe illness, helpless condition, illiteracy and the like (art. 205 of the Civil Code).
Non-respectable reasons for short-term health problems, lack of knowledge of civil law on the timing and acceptance of inheritance, lack of information on the composition of inheritance property and the like;
(b) The application to the court of an heir who has missed a period of six months to be restored after the reasons for the delay have ceased to exist; this period of six months is not subject to reinstatement and the heir who has missed is deprived of the right to restore the period of acceptance of the inheritance.
The Supreme Court explained under what conditions it would not be possible to evict for debt.
As we can see from our case, the son, according to his statements in court, became aware of his father's death in May or "no later than June"; and he only went to court at the end of January of the following year to seek a reinstatement.
This means that the reasons why the citizen did not go to court for the extension of the inheritance were lost — the man was released, but he did not hurry to go to court for six months.
And there was no reason to re-establish the time limit for the inheritance in our case.
The Supreme Court also stressed the fact that the District Court's finding that the son did not and should not have known about his father's death prior to his release in the colony was denied the opportunity to communicate with his father, to receive information about his health, was not based on anything.
The Supreme Court stressed the findings of the local courts that the time limit for the acceptance of the inheritance in our case could be restored without taking into account article 1155 of the Civil Code and the explanations of the plenary in inheritance cases, which, in the opinion of the high court, led to "the wrong resolution of the case".
As a result, the Supreme Court did what it did very rarely, and both decisions — the District Court and the District Court — reversed and made a new decision — completely denied the deceased's son his claim to his mother-in-law.

Limitation period on inheritance
The question of inheritance is the most acute and frequent in life. Many nuances, rules and subtleties are related to this sphere of relations. One of the important points to be taken into account is the statute of limitations. Their knowledge and observance enable them not to lose the right to receive, use and dispose of their inheritance, whether real estate or any other property.
General information on the statute of limitations
The definition of the statute of limitations is considered to be the main concept of legal science.
The time limit is the time limit provided for by law, which is set aside for the restoration of the right violated, during which time a person who, for some reason, has been deprived of his or her rights or has not been aware of his or her right, has an opportunity to remedy it.
The statute of limitations is set out in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which, in general, is three years for inheritance relations; however, depending on the specific circumstances of the case, actions relating to certain matters of inheritance are heard by the courts decades after the opening of the inheritance.
In addition, the law clearly states that the period of time is to be taken into account when the well-dressed heir has learned of his right, that is, 30 years after the death of the heir and the statute of limitations will begin to count from that point on.
This method of reference gives a fair chance of succession to those who, by chance or evil intent, have not been informed of the death of the heir, because, in practice, in almost every inheritance case, there is a dispute between the heirs or they attempt to trick one another into their own advantage.
Time limits for inheritance
The term of the inheritance shall be up to six months from the date of its discovery, and the date of its announcement shall be the date of the death of the heir.
The legal science provides that the actual use of inherited property is sufficient for the inheritance to take place.
- Administration, use, disposal of inherited property;
- Reimbursing the costs and expenses of the inheritance;
- Improvement of the status of inherited property and its repair;
- Payment of the debts of the deceased heir.
In order to establish the legal right to all acts relating to the disposal of the estate, the heir must make a declaration of the right to inherit, on the basis of which the notary issues a certificate that guarantees and protects the right to inherit.
The period of six months is not only taken into account from the date of the death of the heir; the law provides for cases in which the missing person is declared to have died by a court decision, in which case the date specified in the court ' s decision declaring the heir to be dead is considered to be the reference point for the period of succession and the period of limitation.
Time limit for suit
The problems associated with timely succession arise frequently and are likely to be linked to several facts:
- Untimely notification of all heirs entitled to inheritance by chance or malicious intent;
- Warning of the heir to an address at which he does not live, a situation that often arises from frequent movements of the heir or from the evil intent of other participants in the inheritance case;
- The late application of the heir to the notary for a certificate, which confirms the right to inherit;
- Untimely processing of any documents confirming the legality of the administration of the inheritance.
It is the confirmation of the inheritance received from the notary that the relevant certificate is binding; when the document is not issued in a timely manner, it will be necessary to prove its rights through the courts.
The court hears applications and actions in cases of inheritance within three years of the occurrence of a legally significant event, and in the event of a challenge to the right to inherit or to prove the right to inherit, the death of the testator or his confession by a court of law shall be recognized as such, and the limitation period shall begin to run from that point in time.
If the heir was not notified on time of the heir ' s death and then learned of it, the original event is the date of the notification of the right to inherit.
The expiry of a period of three years does not mean that it is impossible to restore the affected right to inherit; if the period is missed for a valid reason, which can be documented, the application to the court for an extension of the period will remedy the situation; if the court considers it necessary, the period will be extended for another six months.
In addition, three years is the total statute of limitations in cases of inheritance; article 196 of the Criminal Code specifies a maximum period of 10 years for the adoption of inheritance claims and the restoration of their rights.
Thus, the statute of limitations is a period of time established by law and provided for the restoration of violated rights, and the lack of knowledge of these time limits may lead to the passage of such time limits.
The missed deadlines could be restored only if there was a valid reason.
In some inheritance cases, however, the time limits are so high that it is virtually impossible in practice to lose its legal right to inherit.
Statute of limitations on inheritance, statute of limitations
- The administration of inheritance cases takes place within a time limit specified by law, which is required in order to:
- - to protect the heirs from external attacks on the estate; - to encourage the heirs to perform the prescribed procedure within the prescribed time frame.
- Time limits for inheritance
- The legislation of our country provides for a period of six months for all heirs to complete the inheritance, and during this period the heirs must:
- Make a statement to the notary;Prepare documents; pay State duty; receive a certificate of inheritance;
- Register their inheritance rights.
The countdown for the 6-month period beginsOn the day after the death of the heir, or after the legal effect of the decision to declare the heir deceased, the six months shall include both workers and weekends and holidays; only if the last day is not working, shall the next day be the end of the working day after the death.
As practice shows, six months is enough to complete all inheritance procedures, but it can happen that, for objective reasons, the heirs are late and do not turn to the notary in a timely manner.
Re-establishment of the period for inheritance
If the six months set for inheritance have passed and the heir has failed to complete the above proceedings for good reasons, he is entitled to the restoration of the time limit.
In order to do so, the heir must file a complaint with the court and provide documentary evidence of valid reasons: treatment, travel, lack of knowledge of the death of the heir or of the right to inherit.
Such an application must be filed not later than six months after the expiry of the original period for inheritance.
One valid reason was the lack of information on the death of the testator and the opening of the inheritance case, and it must be said that the responsibility of the notary is essential in the process of the inheritance, and that it is the duty of the law to inform all potential heirs of the opening of the inheritance.
It is not for a near relative to live in one another, but it is for his heirs to be notified promptly, whether or not they observe the prescribed time limit for applying for inheritance.
The late receipt of a notification of the death of the testator may well be the reason for the delay and the reason for its extension.
- Limitation period in inheritance cases
- Many mistakenly confuse similar dates:
- 6 months for inheritance, 3 years for inheritance.
We've dealt with the first concept a little bit more, and we've got to deal with the second concept.
The law establishes a three-year statute of limitations in inheritance cases, i.e. succession, deprivation of inheritance, challenge of will, and so on; in other words, the statute of limitations is given to the heirs in order to challenge inheritance and protect their inheritance rights.
If, within three years of the statute of limitations, the heir whose inheritance rights have been infringed brings an action for the protection of his rights, the procedure for inheritance (no matter, by law or by will) will be reviewed by the court.
The violations identified will be identified and resolved, until the inheritance property is fully redistributed between the heirs, the illegally acquired property is returned or the value of the property is compensated.
For example,The son did not apply for the inheritance on time, because he did not know of the death of his father; he lived and worked in another land. When he learned of his father's death, the inheritance was already divided between his two brothers. He could not apply for the restoration of the missed term.
However, the three-year statute of limitations in which the son filed an action for the protection of his inheritance rights had not expired; by a court decision, the inheritance certificates issued to the brothers had been revoked, and the deceased father ' s property had been redistributed among the three sons.
On the basis of the court decision, changes were made to the inheritance registration documents as another legitimate owner appeared.
Calculation of the statute of limitations
As mentioned above, actions in inheritance cases have been pending for three years; the beginning of this period is the event that gave rise to the claim.
In most cases, such an event is the death of the heir (or the confession of the heir) and the beginning of the three-year term is the day following the death (dead) of the heir.
This method of calculation is applicable in simple cases where all the heirs who know about the death of the testator, whether there is a will or not, and the distribution of the estate are involved in the inheritance.
For example, an action may be brought against one of the heirs claiming a certain inheritance.
But in some cases, the countdown for three years comes after another event.
For example, late notification of the death of the testator, information of violation of the inheritance rights (e.g. concealment of property belonging to the testator, unlawful appropriation of inheritance property), information of the will of the testator; this method of calculation is applied in more complex cases.
For example,In the example cited above, the period of time of claim began on the day after the heir learned of the death of the father and of the violation of his inheritance rights by his relatives; from the following day, but not later than three years, the heir must file a complaint.
Whatever the date on which the limitation period begins, the last day may be a day off (exit day, holiday day); then the day on which the limitation period ends will be the first working day following the workday.
Re-establishment of the missed limitation period
Similarly to the six-month time limit for filing an application, which may be reinstated in the event of a valid omission, the limitation period may also be restored; as in the previous case, it is necessary to file a claim with the court with the attached evidence of a valid reason for the delay.
Limitation period in inheritance cases
- The Right to Succession — General Provisions
- Limitation period in inheritance cases of real estate rights
- Limitation period on will
- Limitation period in respect of the heir ' s debts
- Re-establishment of the statute of limitations upon entry into the inheritance
The Right to Succession — General Provisions
After the death of a citizen who had any value, his heirs must assume the right to use them within six months of the opening of the inheritance (art. 1154, para. 1 of the Code of Criminal Procedure). This is the date on which the citizen died (art. 1114, para. 1 of the Code of Criminal Procedure).
The duty of the notary is to search for all the heirs of the deceased and inform them of the discovery of the inheritance.
The heir has the right to refuse to inherit, and he can do so in two ways:
- Active is to make an independent application to the notary.
- A passive person does not take any action with regard to the inheritance or notify the notary of his plans for part of the estate.
Limitation period in inheritance cases of real estate rights
There are sometimes situations in which the processing of documents cannot proceed smoothly due to the fact that the heir has not been informed that he has acquired the right to the property of the deceased, in which case the rest of the heirs may divide the property among themselves, without taking into account the rights of the absent person.
Such matters are decided by the courts, i.e. only the court may decide to restore the legal rights of the heir, and the legislator shall limit the period within which the applicant may challenge the results of his division, the so-called statute of limitations.
The statute of limitations on inheritance is a period of time during which a person may seek the assistance of a court to restore his or her unencumbered rights (art. 195 of the Code of Criminal Procedure). The length of the statute of limitations in inheritance cases is three years, with some exceptions (art. 196, para. 1 of the Code of Criminal Procedure).
The period of limitation for the estate inheritance begins on the day when the heir learned or should have known that his rights with respect to the estate had been violated (art. 200, para. 1, of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).
This means that it does not always start with the death of a citizen: if the heir was not aware of the fact (or that he was entitled to some of the deceased ' s property), he must be counted from the day he received such information.
The maximum duration of such a period may not exceed 10 years from the date of the death of the testator (art. 196, para. 2).
Limitation period on will
The will is a unilateral transaction that grants the heir rights and duties in respect of the estate upon its discovery (art. 1118, para. 5, of the Russian Civil Code).
The testator has the right to separate his or her assets and hand them over to those who choose to do so, regardless of whether they inherit by law or not.
It is not required to justify the reasons for the decision contained in the document (art. 1119, para. 1 of the Russian Civil Code).
You don't know your rights?
Sign the People ' s Council, free of charge, a minute to read, once a week.
Like any transaction, the will may be invalid (art. 1131, para. 1 of the Russian Civil Code):
- By decision of the court (disputed);
- without such a decision (nothing).
According to article 181, paragraph 1, of the Code of Criminal Procedure, the period during which an invalid transaction is considered shall be three years. For an contested will, the period shall be reduced to one year (art. 181, para. 2), counting from the date of the death of the testator or from the date of receipt by the testator of information about the existence of the will (or the time when it was to be obtained).
Limitation period in respect of the heir ' s debts
The heirs are transferred not only to the assets (real estate, money, securities, etc.), but also to the debts of the heir; however, they bear the debt burden not exceeding the value of the property they have received and only within the time limit.
The period for the collection of funds begins when the heir enters the right to property, the duration of which is determined by the general rule set out in article 196, paragraph 1, of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, and is set at 3 years.
If the creditors have not filed a claim for payment of the debt within that time period, it shall be deemed to have been paid; however, it should be borne in mind that the time limit is applied solely on the application of the respondent.
Accordingly, if he has not stated that the statute of limitations has been missed, the plaintiff ' s right to judicial protection shall not be denied.
Re-establishment of the statute of limitations upon entry into the inheritance
The procedure for the restoration of inheritance rights is uniform and does not depend on the method of succession in a given situation.
The reasons for non-compliance with the time limit, which are considered to be respectful, are as follows:
- Lack of information on the death of the heir or the right to receive part of his property as an inheritance.
- Long-term heir's disease.
- His place of detention, residence in another country, etc.
In order to restore their rights in such a case, it is necessary to prepare evidence: statements, medical reports and other official documents (depending on the reason for the delay) and witnesses who can confirm the complainant ' s credibility.
The statement of claim must state:
- Information on the plaintiff (F. I. O., address of residence, contact number);
- Information on the heir;
- The grounds for the discovery of the inheritance (death of the heir or the corresponding court decision);
- A description of the reasons why the legal time limit for inheritance was missed;
- Request for review of the division of property.
The claim is completed by setting the date of the claimant ' s writing and signature.
***
So, in general, the statute of limitations in inheritance cases is 3 years from the day the heir learned of the discovery of the estate in his favour.

Time limit for inheritance
The Civil Code of the Russian Federation (CK of the Russian Federation) sets a time limit within which the heirs must assume their rights; the moment of death or the day when a person is declared dead is the starting point for calculating the time limit for the acceptance of the inheritance.
Article 1154 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation stipulates that entry into inheritance rights must take place within six months, regardless of whether a will has been made or not, during which time it is necessary to collect all the documents, go to the notary ' s office and pay the Minister of State.
The duration of the inheritance may be extended by:
- When the heir refuses or is removed from the inheritance by the court of his own free will, as a result of which another person is entitled to the property of the deceased, the period shall be extended for another six months;
- When one of the heirs has not accepted his due by law, the term shall be increased by three months.
- When the missing heir receives the written consent of all the other heirs (article 1155 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), there is no need to go to court.
At the end of the period of accession, the period of limitation for the acceptance of the inheritance shall begin to be counted.
An example.The property of the deceased father is to pass over to the eldest son, and the property of the deceased is not in the common property of the spouses, nor is the inheritance of the deceased; and the rest of the estate, the house, the tractor, and the account of the bank was not specified in the will.
Legally, that is, without will, a widow and two sons have the right to inherit.
While the eldest son was working on the watch, the widow and the youngest son went to the notary and claimed their rights to the deceased ' s property, and the eldest son was away for a year.
At that time, the date of acceptance of the inheritance, other property and the apartment, in view of the man ' s long-standing death, was set aside for the widow and the youngest son.
This occurred despite the fact that they were not even mentioned in the will; in order to obtain an apartment upon bequest, the eldest son may sue while the period of limitation of the inheritance is in force.
Statute of limitations on succession
Article 196 of the Criminal Code establishes a general limitation period of three years, which applies to inheritance cases, and the heir must prove in court that he has not accepted the inheritance for valid reasons.
In complex and complicated cases, the statute of limitations may be extended to 10 years, during which time it may still be possible to inherit.
Most of the difficulties arise in family disputes over the establishment, division of property, and once the court decision has entered into force, all property of the deceased will be transferred between the heirs.
Procedure for calculating the statute of limitations for the acceptance of an inheritance
The period of limitation for inheritance shall begin to run when 6 months or 2 times 6 months have elapsed if the period of acceptance has been extended. 3 years ' minimum statute of limitations is 10 years ' maximum. 10 years ' application to a court outside the specified time limit will be refused.
The complexity of the proceedings was due to the fact that property could be resold over a period of 10 years on more than one legal basis, and the money had already been spent by the rest of the relatives who had inherited it.
Documents for acceptance of an inheritance within the limitation period
When applying to a court, a package of documents must be produced; the application must contain information on the extent of the relationship, an explanation of the reasons for the extension of the period of limitation for inheritance; without the evidence or testimony of witnesses, the case will be lost in view of the history of the events.
Documents for presentation to court:
- Death certificate;
- If there is a will;
- A receipt of the payment of the public service (art. 333 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation);
- Documents confirming the complainant ' s relationship with the deceased;
- The notary ' s written refusal due to the missed date of acceptance of the inheritance;
- Evidence of valid reasons for the delay of the six months prescribed by law, including the testimony of witnesses.
When the deceased is brought before a court and the evidence is produced before the expiry of the statute of limitations, the surviving relative will receive his share of the property.
An example.Petrova has three children: the eldest daughter left the country five years ago, did not communicate with her family, and after Petra died, the two youngest children did not inform the eldest of the mother's death, nor did the notary allow negligence or control of the matter.
Eight years after Petrova's death, the eldest daughter arrived in her hometown, and was not legally notified of her death and inheritance, and the statute of limitations has not expired.

The law regulates the procedure for inheritance; since the issue is property, the beneficiaries are required to comply strictly with the time limits; in this regard, ineligibility will lead to the transfer of rights to the next recipients.
In the absence of a will, the refusal of all relatives and dependants, the right is assumed by the State; therefore, it is not always possible to restore the time limit.
In addition, actual inheritance carries risks, and there have been cases where property has been taken at the same time by the different heirs of the notary and in fact, which has led to subsequent legal proceedings, and the outcome has not always been favourable to a successor who has not turned to the notary.
What is the statute of limitations for inheritance
The time limit for the acceptance of inherited property is six months from the date of the opening of the inheritance, but in certain circumstances this period may be different.
In the event of a refusal to inherit the heirs appointed in the will, the time of application of their rights for the applicants shall also be six months, but the beginning of the calculation shall not be the time of death of the testator, but the date of refusal.

Statute of limitations on succession after intestate death
Russian legislation has decided to settle property disputes by setting a maximum limitation period of 10 years.
It may also be concluded that if the inheritance has not taken place within 20 years, it is hoped that the outcome of the inheritance case will not be positive.
Re-establishment of the statute of limitations
- The six-month period allowed for the acceptance of the inheritance could be extended if the court found that the reasons for the permit were valid.
- The circumstances of the claim must be supported by documents and witness statements.
- According to the legislative changes, it is not possible to inherit after 10 years after the death of the testator.
- The law does not provide a precise list of the factors on which the right can be restored, but in the course of the proceedings the court may grant the claim for valid reasons:
- It was not possible to obtain information on the death of a relative.
- Lack of information on inheritance.
- Long illness, living in a coma.
- Living in another country.
- Staying in detention.
Regardless of the reasons for the absence of heirs, each particular case is dealt with by the court, provided that the accompanying evidence is provided in the form of official statements, confirmations, witness statements and others.
How the statute of limitations is calculated by inheritance
- According to the law, the statute of limitations in a case of inheritance shall be at least three years and shall not exceed 10 years.
- It is not always possible for a citizen to succeed in the task at hand.
- For the time being, the following may be considered a valid reason for missing the time available for inheritance:
- The heir ' s residence in another country;
- The potential recipient of the property is far from the deceased;
- Lack of communication and communication with the heir;
- Hospital treatment or sanatorium;
- Staying on mission;
- Impact of irresistible force (catastrophes, cataclysms);
- A citizen ' s ignorance of the death of the heir and of his death;
- The lack of knowledge of the existence of a will or inheritance rights under the law.
In all these situations, evidence documents must be collected, and without them, recovery will not be possible.
The notary must send a notice to all applicants.
Is there a statute of limitations on inheritance?The answer is yes, but may be extended under a number of conditions; quite often, the court gives a favourable decision if the heir has not been notified of the death within six months.
Limitation period in inheritance cases
There are two concepts in legal practice that should be distinguished:
- The weather is reserved for the formal adoption of new property rights, which are laid down in the will;
- Three years is the statute of limitations on the inheritance of real estate and other benefits.
That is why it is possible to challenge a will or to inherit after a decision by a public authority within three years.
It's important.
If the heir was not aware of the inheritance at the time, that would not mean that his right to the estate of the testator was lost.
In the GPC, art.
The transfer of rights to the deceased ' s property is made on the basis of his will or under the law if there is no will, and the law prescribes a specific succession distribution algorithm.
The right to inherit property under the law is vested in relatives who are divided by law into categories according to the degree of kinship to the testator.

Limitation period in inheritance casesis strictly defined by law and must be taken into account in inheritance cases.
The property left behind after the death of a loved one is divided between all the heirs according to law or by a bequest.
As a general rule, relatives have a period of six months to become legally entitled to property.
In view of the fact that some heirs are not always able to be present in the division of property, the law provides for a procedure to review the division of property within the limitation period.
General period of succession
Within six months of the death of the heir, the applicants for his property must apply to the notary office of the deceased relative ' s place of residence for acceptance of the heir ' s mass.
Once the six-month period has expired, the notary completes the inheritance case and issues certificates on the basis of which all surviving relatives have the right to make property or other benefits available.
In practice, documents are issued to applicants; if a relative has not declared himself during the course of the inheritance proceedings, the citizen loses his or her right to inherit.
The reasons for non-adherence may be different:
- A person simply did not know about the death of a relative;
- The heir ' s right to property could only be proved in person, but the heir could not come;
- The person knew that it was unworthy to receive a share in the inheritance, but there were reasons to challenge such a decision by the testator;
- It may also be that the notary failed to comply with his duty to notify all relatives of the commencement of the inheritance case.

Limitation period for review of inheritance
The law provides for a person ' s right to review a decision on the division of property that has become after the death of relatives; the procedure for the restoration of property rights is to bring a claim before a court for the restoration of the duration of the inheritance.
In the claim, the citizen must indicate the circumstances that prevented his or her participation in the division of property and the application for a review of the property rights of the surviving relatives.
The application to the court takes place within a new period (six months from the date of completion of the inheritance case).
Extension of time limits for inheritance claims through court
The statute of limitations applicable to all court cases (3 years) is also applicable to inheritance cases and remains valid when two periods of six months have expired.
It is possible to seek redress in the event of the discovery of unlawful acts of inheritance.
If the plaintiff proves that he has not received a notification of the death of his relative, the judgement will set aside the rights of the remaining heirs.
And if there be a judgement in his hand, he shall have a portion of it; and if he be of the inheritors, he shall have a share in it; and if he be of the inheritors, then he shall have a share in it; and if he be of the inheritors, then he shall have a share in it; and if he be of the inheritors, then he shall have a share in it; and if he be of the inheritors, he shall have a share in it; and if he be of the inheritors, then he shall have a share in it; and Allah is Oft Forgiving, Most Merciful.
This right is enshrined in article 1196, paragraph 1, of the Civil Code.
However, the same article describes the possibility of extending the statute of limitations to 10 years.
This rule exists to deal with particularly complex and complex cases involving the division of immovable property.
How to calculate the period of limitation for inheritance
The period of 10 years set by the Civil Code for dealing with inheritance property also extends the rights of the heirs and limits them at the same time; if six months and 10 years have passed, recourse to the courts to restore their rights will be denied.
In practice, it is not possible to cancel a number of transactions that have been performed legally (in the legal field at the time of the conclusion).
It is also difficult to claim money from relatives who spent money from the inheritance a long time ago.
Under the law, the minimum period of limitation may not be less than 3 years or more than 10 years.
The starting point for the period in which the possibility of re-establishment and inheritance remains is the date of the notary ' s opening of the case.
In some cases, the starting date may vary depending on the circumstances of the case; this may be the date of notification of the death of a relative or oral communication.
The nature of the statute of limitations in inheritance cases
During the period set aside for the division and disposal of inheritance property, the notary has a leading role in the organization of the process.
Much of its action depends on the quality of the distribution of the genetic mass, after which there will be no controversy.
The invalidation of documents in judicial practice is often due to the negligence of officials in notifying relatives.
Within the limitation period, there are cases of conflict within one jurisdiction; in dividing the concepts of legal and de facto inheritance, the second is the judicial determination of the right to inherit.
The actual inheritance is confirmed by the following documents:
- The expenditure of their personal resources (spending, legal aid, public utilities) on the maintenance of the estate;
- Payment of the deceased ' s obligations from personal funds;
- The receipt of money from the inheritance account;
- Legalized ownership of the deceased's property.
In such proceedings, the court re-checks the absence of other applicants and, after such a decision, it will be extremely problematic to restore its rights.
