The heirs were granted amnesty

The State Duma simplifies the procedure for registering dachas as property

More than a year after the law on the “dacha amnesty” came into force, the State Duma is finalizing the “gardening” legislation . Today, the lower house will consider a bill designed to facilitate the transfer of amnestied hacienda by inheritance. “This will significantly simplify procedural issues,” State Duma Speaker Boris Gryzlov promised on Monday.

Let us recall that the law gives dacha owners the opportunity to prove their right to it in the event that the documents for the plot do not comply with the current legislation (for example, it is impossible to clearly understand from them on what basis the citizen owns this property, or the area of ​​the plot does not correspond information from the state cadastre). But, as practice has shown, officials re-issuing documents began to refuse the heirs of the “old” summer residents, of whom there were many among those who wanted to finally issue documents for property.

“The bill proposes to implement the next stage of the “dacha amnesty”... by extending the simplified procedure for state registration of rights to land plots introduced by federal law not only to citizens who were provided with such land plots, but also to the heirs of these citizens,” it says explanatory note by the developer of the document, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Civil, Criminal, Arbitration and Procedural Legislation Pavel Krasheninnikov. According to him, amendments made to land legislation give heirs the right to acquire ownership of a plot free of charge “in cases where the testator, the owner of a residential building located on this plot, during his lifetime did not exercise the right established by the specified paragraph to register this plot as property "

“The position of the legislator seems quite logical - the “dacha amnesty” is aimed at ensuring that the land is properly registered to involve it in circulation and to ensure the proper registration of the rights that citizens will have. Since the majority of those who have purchased summer cottages over the past 70 years have either died or are of advanced age, their heirs should be able to register the right to real estate in a simplified manner,” a land specialist noted in an interview with Vremya Novostei issues of the Bar Association “Ivanyan and Partners” Yulia Bakhareva.

But, according to the lawyer, it is too early to say that all the issues arising in connection with the “dacha amnesty” have been resolved. “Many problems that arose initially after the law came into force have not been resolved - for example, the question of simplifying the procedure for cadastral registration of land remains open,” recalls Ms. Bakhareva. Payment for land development work continues to be a headache for land owners. For example, in the Moscow region, land surveying can cost a land user 10 thousand rubles. per hundred. In the regions, prices are somewhat lower, but even here you have to pay up to 15 thousand rubles for registration of the boundaries of the site. “If the legislator is consistent in eliminating gaps in the law, honor and praise for this,” says Ms. Bakhareva. “But the situation is far from perfect yet.”
