Transactions related to the possibility of alienation of real estate. Alienation of property is a gift

Alienation of property involves the transfer of things into the ownership of other persons, as well as to him, including rights expressed in securities. The renunciation of the right to property, the transfer of things for use, the provision of a temporary right to use property, intellectual property, as well as the granting of rights to alienate in the future are not alienation.

Only things, funds, and rights are subject to alienation. Services cannot be alienated

The grounds for the emergence of property rights can be: making a thing for oneself; acquisition of things on the basis of contracts of gift, exchange, purchase and sale, as well as other transactions; inheritance; appropriation of found property. Ownership rights can be transferred to both movable and immovable property. The list of real estate, as well as movable property, to which ownership rights can be assigned, which is enshrined in legislative acts, is not exhaustive.

In case of refusal or loss of ownership of a thing, its destruction, as well as alienation by the owner of the thing to other persons, or in other cases, the right of ownership is terminated.

According to the law, the alienation of real estate is possible in connection with the seizure of the corresponding plot on which it is located in the event of improper use of the land or the need to use it for state needs.

Alienation of property is carried out on the basis of contracts: donation, sale and purchase, exchange and others. When buying and selling, the selling party transfers the item into the ownership of the buyer, who, in turn, accepts the goods and pays its cost. The same rule applies to sales.

When alienating under a barter agreement, one person transfers ownership of his goods to another in exchange. In this case, each of the parties is actually a seller and a buyer and undertakes to transfer its goods and accept the goods of the other person.

In a gift agreement, the donor transfers property or the right to property to the donee free of charge or relieves him of property obligations to himself or a third party related to the transaction.

Alienation of property can be expressed in the form of a donation, which is understood as donating it for socially useful purposes. Thus, donations are transferred to various social protection institutions, educational institutions, hospitals and other medical organizations, charitable and religious organizations, citizens, and enterprises.

Upon payment of the purchase price stipulated by the contract under the lease agreement, as well as upon expiration of the lease period, the leased property becomes the property of the lessee.

Alienation of property under a rent agreement provides for the transfer by the rent recipient of the property into the ownership of the person paying the rent, and he, in turn, periodically pays a certain amount of money for its maintenance. According to the contract, the annuity can be permanent, that is, indefinite, or for life. The rent agreement must be notarized, and if the property is immovable, the agreement is subject to state registration. Alienated property for payment of rent may be transferred into the ownership of the rent payer for a fee or free of charge. In the case of a paid transfer, the rules of purchase and sale apply, and in the case of a free transfer, the rules of the gift agreement apply.

Property can also be alienated by foreclosure on it based on existing obligations. This mainly happens by court order. In this case, the right of ownership ceases from the moment it is transferred to another person, who in turn acquires the right of ownership of this thing.

Alienation of land cannot be carried out without compelling reasons. Its owner must be notified in writing no later than one year in advance about alienation for state needs through redemption.

When the seizure of a plot for the purposes of state needs without termination of ownership rights is impossible, the property can be seized through redemption or sale with

However, if in court the state body cannot prove that the alienation of the plot cannot be carried out without terminating the ownership of it, then the seizure is impossible.

Transactions with real estate, in particular apartments, according to modern legislation, must be formalized by a notary. Regardless of the form of alienation, except in cases of forced seizure of this property.

Voluntary alienation

The law provides for the following forms of voluntary transfer of real estate from one person to another:

  • sale;
  • donation;
  • transfer under a lifelong maintenance agreement.

All described agreements under which an apartment (share of an apartment) is alienated are certified by a notary and must be registered with the relevant government body (Article 18 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation) that maintains the register of real estate (Rosreestr).

It is worth remembering that when alienating real estate that is in shared or common ownership, or the object was acquired while the owner was in a marital relationship, to complete such a transaction, consent to the alienation of the apartment of the co-owners or the spouse is required.

In addition, the following rules established by the legislator should be observed when drawing up an agreement:

  • written form;
  • availability of complete identification data of the person alienating the property;
  • full identification details of the person receiving the property;
  • description of the object of the contract, indicating the area, available registration numbers, as well as, if there are encumbrances;
  • the amount if the contract is of a compensatory nature;
  • date of compilation;
  • other information relevant to compliance with the law.

In addition, the apartment alienation agreement must contain information about the presence or absence of registered persons who do not have legal capacity, namely minors or incapacitated (partially capable) persons. In this case, consent to complete the transaction must be obtained not only from the legal (court-appointed) representative of these persons, but also from the Guardianship Authorities.

All of the above requirements and rules should be applied not only when drawing up a purchase and sale agreement for an object, but also in other forms of alienation. A deed of gift for an apartment, as well as a lifelong maintenance agreement, must be notarized and undergo state registration.

Forced expropriation

The law provides for several cases when the alienation of residential premises can be carried out forcibly:

  • confiscation of property by court verdict;
  • seizure of property by court decision, as from an illegal or dishonest purchaser;
  • sale of immovable property during the enforcement of judicial decisions.

There is one exception to the last point - residential premises cannot be sold to pay off existing debts if this is the only housing suitable for the debtor and his family.

12/14/2015 - Yuri Abramenkov

good afternoon, my son built an apartment, but wants to transfer it to us (parents) before registering it as property. How to arrange this?

October 15, 2013

The legal term “alienation of an apartment” seems incomprehensible and complex to many. In fact, there is nothing wrong with this phrase: this is the legally correct name for any transaction as a result of which an apartment passes from one owner to another.

Alienation of an apartment occurs as a result of:

  • Purchase and sale transactions this is the most popular type of transaction: when selling housing and registering ownership rights to another person, real estate is alienated.
  • As a result of exchanging an apartment for any material assets or when exchanging for another property of any type. In this case, alienation of housing also occurs.
  • When donated, since the owner of the apartment changes.
  • In all other cases, when the owner of the apartment changes forced alienation by court decision and the like. The agreement for the alienation of the apartment will take place regardless of the reason for the change of owner.

Lawyers have such a term as shared ownership of housing. It means that the apartment (or other residential premises) does not belong to a single owner, but a shared owner has a certain share in the apartment. Alienation of a share in an apartment occurs in exactly the same way; all transactions with shares are regulated by current legislation.

Cost of a share in an apartment

There is a common misconception regarding the share in an apartment, or more precisely regarding its cost. Its essence is as follows: many believe that the cost of a share equal to a quarter of an apartment is equal to the cost of a quarter of the apartment. This is far from true, because in practice, a share in an apartment is unsuitable for living, or is inconvenient or of little use; accordingly, the cost of a share in an apartment is calculated fundamentally differently, and it is significantly lower than many people think.

To complete a transaction as a result of which the apartment will become the property of another owner, consent to alienate the apartment is often required.

Consent for alienation will be required:

  • When alienating an apartment by one of the married spouses from the second spouse.
  • If there are family members living in the apartment and having the right to use the housing.

In some cases, a ban on alienation is imposed on a particular home, that is, transferring it into ownership to another owner is impossible until the ban is lifted. The most common cases in which the ban on alienation of housing is applied is the purchase of an apartment using mortgage lending. In this way, the bank guarantees itself that the property will not be transferred to another owner without full payment of the entire mortgage loan amount. Accordingly, alienation transactions with such housing are impossible.

Also, a ban on the alienation of an apartment can be imposed by a court decision by a bailiff, until the end of legal proceedings, payment of the owner’s debts, or for other reasons.

Documents for alienation

The necessary documents for the alienation of an apartment, which will be required when completing a purchase and sale transaction, exchange or donation, depend on whether the owner of the apartment or the new owner is married, whether minor family members live in the apartment, whether the apartment is mortgaged and on a number of others factors.

In most cases, if the seller is a respectable owner, transactions go through quickly and without unnecessary bureaucratic red tape. If an unusual situation arises, the seller and buyer can always get advice on what documents are required to submit to complete the transaction from the authorities authorized to register such real estate transactions, or from a lawyer specializing in this area.

Many people do not have a clear idea of ​​what alienation of property is. But in reality, everything is clear in this legal transaction. In order to carry out a transaction for the alienation of property, it is necessary to have knowledge in this area. It will be difficult for an unprepared person to carry out such a transaction. That is why, in order for there to be no claims to the transaction, it must be carried out with the help of a lawyer. In this article we will try to cover this topic.

What does the concept of “alienation of property” mean?

Alienation of property is the transfer to another person of various things, shares, securities. Civil law gives a simple definition: alienation of property is transfer of movable and immovable objects into the property of another person.

If we look at this from the other side, we can say that the renunciation of the right to use and the transfer of things for temporary use is not an alienation of property. Also, a waiver of intellectual property rights cannot be included in this category.

Objects of intellectual property and services of various types cannot be alienated. But money and things are what are alienated.

Ownership rights may arise in the following situations: exchange, purchase or manufacture of a thing, donation or inheritance, appropriation of a found thing. Ownership rights can arise in movable and immovable property. The list of objects to which this right may apply is enshrined in the law of the Russian Federation. And most importantly, this list is constantly growing. The right of ownership terminates if the person abandons the thing or destroys it. An immovable property may be alienated if the land plot is withdrawn for state needs. Also, if the owner improperly uses the land.

When alienating property, different agreements may be concluded between the parties:

  • purchase and sale;
  • exchange;
  • donations.

When drawing up the first contract, the object or the item is transferred to the buyer after payment to the seller, specified and agreed upon cost. The same story happens when selling property rights.

When concluding a second contract, one a person has the right to exchange a thing for another, more important and worthwhile for him at the moment. In this case, the persons participating in the transaction are both buyers and sellers at the same time.

After all, they undertake to transfer and accept property or an item that previously belonged to another person.

As for the gift agreement, the thing is transferred to the donee. He can use it for free. Wherein the donor has every right to release the donee from the property obligations of the donee.

It is worth noting that the alienation of property can take the form of a donation. It is practically the same as a gift, but only represents the transfer of property for a public purpose. If a person does not fulfill his obligations, then alienation occurs by court decision. A person who previously held title to property loses it when it is transferred to another person. Since the latter immediately accepts this property and has legal ownership.

Alienation of a share in the right of common ownership

It should be noted that a person who is a participant in the common share has the right to a certain ideal share in this property. The Civil Code enshrines the provision that when one of the owners sells his share in the right of common ownership, the other participants have the right to buy this share. This provision does not apply to sales from public contracts.

The person who sells an ownership interest must notify the other participants in writing. In the notification, he must indicate the price and conditions under which the share is sold. If other participants in the common property do not buy the share being sold or refuse to buy it, the seller has the right to sell it on any terms and to any buyer.

When contacting a notary to formalize a transaction for the sale of a share in a common shared property, be prepared that you will be asked to bring proof that all property participants are notified of the decision. Often, the owners of a common share voluntarily provide the notary with a waiver of the right of pre-emptive acquisition of this share.

Difficulties in selling a share

Sometimes, situations arise when obtaining such evidence becomes a difficult task.

The person who is the owner of the alienated share refuses to come to the notary and sign a waiver of the sold share. Or he comes to the notary, but does not want to sign the alienation document, although he verbally gives such consent. In this case, it is necessary to formalize the transfer of the application to him. In this document, the seller must familiarize the owner of the common share with his decision, thereby informing him. As a rule, the application is arbitrary. In this case, you need to provide several specific information:

  • item of sale;
  • address of the property;
  • the price at which the property will be sold or the specific property for which this object of sale will be exchanged.
  • other terms of sale.

It is worth noting that the seller can change the terms of sale of the property at any time. About these changes must be notified to all shareholders who may qualify to purchase a share of the property. If the property is sold at a price higher than it was originally set, but under the same conditions, then it will not be necessary to provide repeated evidence that all participants have been notified. If the price has decreased, then such evidence will have to be provided again.
