A package of documents is attached to it. Then the bureau specialist schedules a time to visit the premises to conduct an inspection.

He comes with the previous technical passport and inspects the premises for changes that have been made but not legalized.

If everything is in order, then after 20 calendar days, the owner will have a new technical passport for the apartment in his hands.

If the redevelopment was done, but not legalized, then there will be a long process of approving the changes.

Inheritance procedure

Entry into property rights is carried out with or without a will. When drawing up a will, one copy remains with the testator, and one copy remains with the notary. When the heir turns to the notary, the latter raises the archive and notifies everyone who is indicated in the will about the inheritance. If there is no will, you need to contact a notary at the place of residence of the deceased within no more than six months from the date of opening of the inheritance.

Required documents:

• death certificate;
• certificate of all persons registered in the apartment;
• heir's passport;
• confirmation of the degree of relationship: birth certificate, marriage certificate, etc.;
• list of possible heirs;
• a document confirming the right to ownership of property of a deceased person, that is, paper on the basis of which he was the owner of an apartment or house;
• a certificate of explication and a certificate of the value of real estate - taken from the BTI;
• extract from the Unified State Register;
• certificate of absence of arrears in payment of utility services.

If available, a will is attached to the package of documents. Without it, acceptance of inheritance and entry into rights is possible. Without all the other documents, it will not be possible to confirm the right of inheritance.

When contacting a notary, a hereditary case is opened, and the specialist issues a request to order a technical certificate from the BTI by the heirs.

Certificate forms

BTI is engaged in recording and processing information on real estate on the entrusted site. Specialists are required to issue various certificates and documents to citizens upon request. The most popular documents include a technical passport and an explication.

The technical passport includes the characteristics of the property. Without this paper it is impossible to carry out transactions with property. The explication is a floor plan of the building, which contains the characteristics of the object. In addition to this documentation, BTI provides other certificates:

• about inventory value;
• about registration;
• land plan;
• extracts from the technical passport.

Before making a transaction regarding the alienation of property rights, you must contact the BTI, making sure that the property is “clean”. The technical passport contains information about the area and number of rooms. It may also contain additional information:

• about BTI, date of provision of information;
• number, information about shares;
• detailed description;
• list of attached documents.

If the owner has a technical passport, this confirms that the object complies with the law. It turns out that he has no encumbrance, but if the redevelopment is done, it is agreed upon by law.

To obtain a certificate, you must contact the following organizations:

• BTI, if the property was registered before 1998;
• Rosreestr, when the object has been registered since 1998.

A certificate of absence of property may be required for the privatization of real estate that was listed under a social tenancy agreement. Paper is also necessary when determining the child’s place of residence if his parents are divorced. The certificate allows the family to be registered for improvement of living conditions. It is ordered to receive subsidies from the state and for other purposes.

A certificate of availability of property is presented to the court when spouses divorce, as well as to banks to confirm that the client can provide collateral. The paper is issued at the request of a social service worker to confirm the need to improve living conditions.

To make a purchase or sale, you need a registration certificate. The paper serves as confirmation that the object is legally “clean”. It contains the characteristics of the property, as well as information about the encumbrance. The new registration certificate will serve as confirmation that the apartment is registered legally.

Although a registration certificate is not mandatory when selling an apartment, the buyer can still inquire about its condition. Therefore, it is advisable for the seller to pre-order the paper so as not to slow down the deal.

To obtain a certificate from the BTI about the availability of property, you need to prepare a list of documents:

• passport;
• power of attorney, if the procedure will be executed by an authorized person;
• Marriage certificate;
• children's birth certificate;
• right of inheritance;
• receipt for payment for bureau services.

This list of documents is provided in originals with copies. You can receive the paper by mail. Only in this case you need to write a written request with copies attached. The applicant or his representative can obtain a document confirming the availability of real estate. By law it is prohibited to provide information to other citizens and legal entities. The applicant is given information only about his object.

The paper production time varies depending on the type of document. This may take 5 days or a month. If the property is large in area, then registration will take a lot of time. With rapid production, the price of paper increases.

How to get a certificate

To prepare the document, a physical inspection is carried out: a cadastral engineer goes to the site to verify the actual presence of buildings on the territory of the land plot with the information available in Rosreestr. The certificate contains the following information:

• exact address of the land plot;
• cadastral number in accordance with the USRN data;
• land area;
• presence or absence of buildings.

Engineering work to verify the actual condition of the site is carried out by both public and private BTI services. Commercial companies must have the appropriate licenses and permits to conduct engineering activities regarding the inventory of buildings. To submit a request to call an engineer and prepare a certificate, you must provide the following documents:

• application for a certificate;
• copy of passport;
• a copy of the certificate from the Unified State Register of Real Estate;
• a copy of the purchase and sale agreement, title deed or other title document.

Also, if the applicant is acting on behalf of the legal owner of the site, it is necessary to provide a notarized power of attorney.

A certificate of the absence of illegally erected buildings is issued only if the actual condition of the site (presence or absence of buildings) corresponds to the information available in the State Register. If there are buildings on the site that have not been registered, they must be registered as property and the relevant data must be entered into the Unified State Register of Real Estate. The period for preparing a certificate is approximately up to a month if we are talking about a state organization (in rare cases, the preparation of a certificate takes 5-10 days).

When an engineer conducts a natural inspection, the document records all buildings that are actually absent from those listed in the Unified State Register of Real Estate, as well as buildings whose information is not reflected in Rosreestr.
