In real life, we often do not think about the fact that a person can pass away and leave many problems for his relatives. Many older people, brought up in the spirit of "everything around is state, and therefore mine", do not understand the current situation. The emergence of private property should change the attitude to the issue of transferring property in the event of death. And it is worth thinking about this in advance.
Most people face inheritance issues at least once in their lives. The issue is especially acute when the inheritance includes apartments and residential buildings. In this situation, disputes often arise between heirs, and relatives become enemies. To avoid conflict, it is important to know the basics of inheritance law.
The appearance of expensive property has increased the number of wills. A will is a non-notarized document in which the owner distributes his property and personal non-property rights and obligations among his heirs after death.
The will is notarized and becomes a "legally executed will of the testator" after death. The right to inherit is guaranteed by the state. All citizens have equal rights in the field of inheritance, regardless of gender, race, nationality, language, origin, property and official status, place of residence, attitude to religion, beliefs, membership in public associations.
The topic of inheritance is relevant today. Citizens need to preserve and transfer their property to heirs. Many still do not know their rights and obligations in the field of inheritance, despite the fact that Part III of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation has been in force since March 1, 2002.
There are many discussions about innovations in the inheritance legislation. Practitioners and scientists express both positive and negative views on the situation. Notaries conduct a direct propaganda program in the mass media aimed at the universal conclusion of wills by citizens.
The regulatory framework is extensive, but after the adoption of Part III of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, some gaps remained and new unresolved issues appeared. The theoretical basis is the Constitution of the Russian Federation and the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.
