Home / Land disputes / Agreement on determining shares in a land plot
Land is considered a valuable resource that can be used for construction and agriculture. Often, plots are registered as shared ownership - each owner has a share in the property right. It is logical that during the division process conflicts may occur: between heirs, spouses, borrowers and creditors.
One way to avoid contradictions and divide a plot into fair shares is an agreement on determining shares of land. By designating percentage values, share owners will be able to dispose of them at their own discretion and will reduce conflicts to nothing.
Why is an agreement needed?
The land plot has boundaries, but this has nothing to do with the legal procedure - determining shares. The parties need to come to an agreement and determine the size of the shares of all owners of the land plot.
Shares are not expressed in a specific piece of land - it is a percentage of the total property per plot.
In what cases is it necessary to determine shares:
- Inheritance to land
If the plot was inherited by several shareholders, they can draw up an agreement and determine their shares (Article 1165 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).
- Property division
The termination of family relations is also associated with the division of land if the plot was acquired by the spouses during marriage. Usually in such cases the land is divided equally (Article 39 of the RF IC), but other options are also possible. For example, replacing a percentage share with monetary compensation.
- Allocation in kind
Occurs in the case of sale, will, mortgage, exchange, lease and other transactions with land. The allocated owner must enter into an agreement with other co-owners of the site and determine his share (Clause 1 of Article 252 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).
An agreement is an alternative to litigation. If the co-owners can come to an agreement, sit down at the negotiating table and determine the share in the property right, they need to draw up an agreement and register the changes in Rosreestr.
Contents and form of the agreement on the allocation of a share in property rights
Before drawing up the document, it is necessary to obtain a BTI opinion on the possibility of real division of property (for real estate). Agree with all participants on the method of dividing the property, the actual value of the shares, the need to pay monetary compensation (when the real part of the property turns out to be more or less than the value of the share in ownership).
Write down all the details in the agreement. On the basis of what documents does each of the participants own the right of ownership, the size of the shares, how the share is allocated, indicating the list of property (possibly with an assessment of its value), all auxiliary buildings and premises. If it is necessary to re-equip the premises, obtain the appropriate permits. Compensations, expenses for state registration and further according to the example.
An agreement on the allocation of a share in property rights is drawn up in simple written form and does not require notarization, but is subject to state registration.

Hello, Yuri!
In accordance with Art. 252 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, property that is in shared ownership can be divided between its participants by agreement between them. Also, any participant in shared ownership has the right to demand the separation of his share from the common property. This can be done by either allocating a share in kind or by acquiring the share of the allocated co-owner by the remaining participants in shared ownership or by one of them. That is, since there is an agreement in principle between the remaining participants in shared ownership, your colleague can order an examination on the possibility of allocating part of the apartment in accordance with the shares of the co-owners, in compliance with construction, sanitary and hygienic, fire safety and other rules, on the actual cost of the apartment, and also the cost of each part of the apartment expected to be allocated. That is, there are three options: division by agreement of co-owners of an apartment that is in shared ownership; allocation by agreement of your colleague’s share from the common property; acquisition of your colleague’s share by other co-owners (one of them) without allocation in kind. If there is no agreement on the method and conditions for dividing common property or allocating a share, your colleague may go to court. In accordance with the Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation No. 6, the Plenum of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation No. 8 dated 07/01/1996, the court has the right to refuse your colleague’s claim for the allocation of his share in kind, if the allocation is impossible without disproportionate damage to property in common ownership. Such damage should be understood as the impossibility of using the property for its intended purpose, a significant deterioration in its technical condition or a decrease in material or artistic value, inconvenience in use, etc. But at the same time, if it is impossible to divide the property between all participants in the common property or allocate a share in kind, the court, at the request of your colleague, has the right to oblige the remaining participants in the shared property to pay him monetary compensation, upon receipt of which he will lose the right to a share in the common property.

Cases regarding the division of common property are quite common. Sometimes this issue is resolved in court, but in most cases, spouses divide an apartment, house or land by concluding an agreement on determining shares.
The judicial procedure is lengthy and occurs, as a rule, if there is a dispute between the parties about the size of shares in common property. For this reason, a more suitable option is to reach mutual understanding and voluntarily enter into an agreement, which will determine who owns what part.
We will tell you in what cases an agreement on the division of shares is concluded, what requirements apply to the document and how to register it with Rosreestr
How to draw up an agreement correctly?
Let's figure out how to draw up an agreement on determining shares in land, what to include in it and what to pay attention to?
Form and content
The first thing you should focus on is the form of the document.
An agreement to determine or change shares in land has a simple written form . There are no special requirements here, but you need to adhere to the structure of the contract.

The contents of the agreement include:
- document's name;
- settlement (city);
- date, month and year of imprisonment;
- Full name, address, passport details of the parties - participants in common property;
- address of the land plot, cadastral number, category of land, area, presence of buildings;

- rights and obligations of the parties;
- method of bearing expenses - usually in accordance with the size of shares;

Sample agreement on determining shares in a land plot
Below is a form and template for filling out the agreement. Download them to your computer and create your own version.
Compilation procedure: step-by-step instructions
Drawing up an agreement to determine shares in land consists of the following steps:
- Designate the land area.
- Make sure that the land is registered in the cadastral register and has documents.
- Order cadastral work, register the site with Rosreestr - in case land surveying was not carried out.
- Discuss the size of shares with all co-owners.
- Prepare documents:
- passports;
- legal documents for a plot of land - acts, certificates, contracts;
- cadastral passport or extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate;
- receipt of payment of state duty.
- Draw up an agreement, have it certified by a notary, and sign it.
- Register the transaction at the Rosreestr branch through the MFC.
Note that the determination of shares in land differs from the allotment - the first transaction requires notarization, and the allotment is made by agreement of the co-owners without a notary. Read more about this in the article “Allocation of land share from agricultural land.”
Procedure
A prerequisite for the voluntary determination of shares in a land plot is the consent of all co-owners to formalize the division.
The law establishes the following procedure for determining shares:
- Project preparation.
- Drawing up an agreement.
- Notarization.
- State registration.
Since the transaction involves shares of real estate, notarization of the agreement is a prerequisite. To pay for notary services, you will have to evaluate the site. An alternative option is to obtain a certificate of cadastral value from Rosreestr. In [current_date format='Y'] year it costs 350 rubles.
The amount of registration costs
No. | expenditures | Sum |
1 | Legal consultation | From 1500 rub. However, on our website you can get advice absolutely free. |
2 | Project preparation | Notary registration project. The cost of services depends on the region. In 2021 in the Kamchatka Territory you will have to pay from 5,000 rubles. up to 22,000 rub. |
3 | Certification of the agreement by a notary | 0.3% of the cadastral value of the property |
4 | State registration | Each owner must pay a fee of 350 rubles. |
Project preparation
Initially, the parties must come to an agreement. Ideally, each of them receives an equal share.
Moreover, when registering shares, the financial situation of the parties and the presence/absence of children do not matter. However, they are free to do otherwise.
Initially, it is necessary to obtain legal advice and find out the consequences of the decision; in addition, there is no need to draw up an agreement under the influence of an insurmountable situation. Otherwise, it can be challenged in court.
Formalization of the agreement
In most cases, document preparation is the responsibility of a notary. However, it is necessary to remember that even if the parties bring a ready-made agreement, the notary will still charge the amount for legal services. Therefore, it is advisable to immediately assign the responsibility for preparation to him. If you do not want to pay for this service, you can justify the refusal by the ruling of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, which prohibited notaries from imposing paid services on citizens who do not need them.
To prepare the project, you must provide the following documentation:
- civil passports of the parties;
- title document;
- extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate;
- receipt of payment of duty.
The document is drawn up in writing. The number of copies of the agreement is calculated as follows:
- for each co-owner - 1 copy;
- notary – 1 copy;
- to Rosreestr - 1 copy.
Notarization
A prerequisite for notarization is the presence of all co-owners in person. As a last resort, the owner's authorized representative may be present.
The representative must have a notarized power of attorney. Before completing the transaction, the notary will check its authenticity in a special register. Therefore, it is necessary to provide the original.
All parties sign and the notary certifies the document. However, the agreement has not yet been given legal force.
State registration
The last stage is state registration. To do this, the parties must contact Rosreestr.
Documents can be provided in person or through the MFC. A mandatory condition is the presence of a receipt for payment of the duty.
Important! Although the law does not provide for the need to provide a receipt, in practice the lack of payment information will be a reason for refusal.
What is the price?
We explained above that the agreement on land shares must be certified by a notary office. If you ignore this requirement, Rosreestr employees will not accept the application and will not make changes to the state real estate register.
Notary costs are borne by all co-owners of the land plot. The cost of the state duty is calculated based on the price of the land territory - 0.5% of the contract amount (clause 5, clause 1, article 333.24 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
Co-owners pay the state fee together, but bear expenses in proportion to their shares.
Example:
The land plot in the Moscow region belongs to three owners. By agreement, they determined equal shares of the land - ⅓ for each owner.
Having requested fresh data from the Unified State Register of Real Estate, the notary determined the price of the plot - 320,000 rubles. The amount of the state duty: 0.5% of this amount - 1,600 rubles for three, but since the co-owners have equal shares, each of them will pay the notary a third of the amount - 533 rubles.
Another type of expense for a notary is remuneration for technical and legal work: requesting certificates, selecting a sample, printing a form, checking the agreement, studying the nuances, entering into the register, etc.
The total amount for notary services can reach up to 5,000 rubles , depending on the region of Russia.
The newly formed shares are entered into the state real estate register. The parties must pay a state fee on the basis of paragraphs. 25 clause 1 art. 333.33 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation - the amount will be 350 rubles , and if an entry is required in the Unified State Register of Real Estate for a land plot - 100 rubles.
Legal land transactions require special skills and patience.
Practice shows that most people are not aware of cadastral operations, which, in turn, can lead to the threat of fraudulent schemes. It is very important to draw up a competent agreement on determining the shares of a plot of land - it determines not only the shares, but also the relationship between the co-owners.
