Almost anyone who has elderly relatives can face inheritance of property. Sometimes it is difficult to understand this procedure. It is possible to register the transfer of your property after death not only with the help of a will, sometimes it is more convenient to simply donate it while you are still alive.
A will is a document that, according to the law, cannot enter into force during the life of the testator. And the one who bequeaths his property can change his mind, cancel or make corrections at any time. Relatives who are not mentioned in it cannot challenge the will. Disabled dependents can claim inheritance whether or not they were included in the will. There is no need to pay the state for inheritance since 2006, it was then that the tax on such legal relations was abolished. However, the state fee is still charged, these funds go to pay for the issuance of a certificate of the right to inheritance. The amount depends on the relationship: children, grandchildren, spouse, parents, full brothers and sisters of the testator must pay 0.3% of the value of the inherited property, but not more than 100,000 rubles. Other heirs must pay 0.6%, but not more than 1,000,000 rubles. Benefits are given to those persons who lived with the testator permanently and minors. And when donating, you can use the property immediately after registering the transaction. Such an agreement is not retroactive, it is drawn up once. And it is difficult to cancel the document. Other applicants can file a lawsuit against the donor, only they will have to prove his incapacity, otherwise the contract cannot be challenged. The tax on donation has not been completely canceled, but its amount depends on the degree of relationship with the donor. Relatives close in blood do not need to pay at all, but other persons will have to pay income tax, 13% of the value of the property received as a gift.
