Redesigning an apartment for a child
The decision to register the property of the parents for the child can be made for various reasons. For example, parents or guardians can register an apartment for an adult so that in the future he does not have problems with housing. This procedure will also avoid re-registration of the apartment. In this article we will consider in detail the features of the procedure for re-registration of an apartment for a child.
Legislative basis of the issue
According to Ukrainian legislation, a child is considered a minor. A child is considered a minor up to the age of 14. Such a person has the right to make small household purchases, the cost of which is not high. That is why, before transferring an object of property to a child, parents must necessarily obtain permission from the guardianship and trusteeship authorities. This is due to the fact that each child must be protected from possible manipulation. Without this permission, it is impossible to conclude a number of serious transactions related to a minor. The guardianship authorities are given a month to check.
Any alienation of a child’s real estate must be carried out in accordance with current legislation, taking into account the preservation of his right to an apartment. For example, re-registration of alternative real estate (i.e., property that has an equivalent value) may be considered as a guarantee.
In what situations can parents/guardians be denied the right to re-register a house for a child? First, this applies to cases where the parents who initiated the permission are deprived of parental rights by the court. Second, permission will not be granted if there is false information. Third, there is no consent between the parents to conclude the transaction.
Important: the object of the transaction should not be burdened with litigation.
The most common ways to re-register an apartment for a child
Current legislation does not limit the possibility of re-registering real estate for a minor. This means that both a minor and a minor can become the owner of a real estate object.
The most common ways to carry out the procedure are:
- Donation.
- Inheritance.
The procedure for donating an apartment is as follows: parents draw up a donation agreement, under which their minor child becomes the owner of the real estate.
A will is drawn up to carry out the inheritance procedure. In this case, ownership rights are obtained after the death of the testator.
The will or donation agreement must be notarized. The transfer of ownership is necessarily registered in the State Register of Rights to Real Estate Objects.
What are the stages of the procedure for re-registering an apartment for a child?
Let’s start with the fact that in order to begin the procedure, a number of documents must be prepared. Among them:
- A gift agreement/will.
- Passport and identification code of the person initiating the re-registration procedure.
- Documents that will serve as confirmation of ownership of the apartment.
- Permission from the guardianship and trusteeship body.
- Parental consent (when making a donation).
After the above documents are prepared, they must be certified by a notary.
A preliminary conclusion must be received by the guardianship and trusteeship bodies.
The next stage is state registration. Re-registration of an apartment for a child must be reflected in the State Register of Property Rights to Real Estate Objects. Confirmation of registration will be receipt of a Certificate of Ownership.
Many are interested in the issue of taxation when re-registering ownership for a child. If it is a question of inheritance or gift of property by close relatives (children are included in this category), there is no need to pay military duty and personal income tax.
