The most expensive type of property is real estate, therefore, all processes associated with it must be correctly and clearly documented and registered with the relevant state bodies.
Judicial practice proves the need for more thorough preparation of real estate transactions, execution of contracts exclusively in writing, in strict accordance with the regulatory documents governing this procedure. The contract of donation of the share of the apartment is not an exception, which, in fact, is gratuitous, but in case of violation of the established form can lead to negative consequences for both parties.
Own. Methods and types of transmission
Almost every modern person owns real estate (apartment, house, cottage, etc.). Some are its sole owners, others own a certain share. In this case, the real estate may be in shared ownership or during privatization - joint ownership of individual individuals.
The owner of even a few square meters of real estate, in accordance with the provisions of 207-209 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, has the right to perform various types of actions with them: purchase and sale, transfer within the framework of inheritance, donation, rent. From a legal point of view, in the case of registered joint ownership, a number of problems may arise, for any type of action to be taken, the consent of all owners of the property is necessary.
Significantly complicates the process of transferring rights (in whole or in part) to property if a minor child has a part of it. Guardianship authorities ensure that the interests of children are not violated when conducting activities with their property.
The application of any method of transfer of ownership (rights to it) should be accompanied by specialists competent in the matter. For example, an agreement on donating a share of an apartment to underage children is quite common and is often applied in practice by parents who worry about the fate of their beloved child. But to fill it out you will need a legal advice.
Definitions
An agreement to donate a share of an apartment is considered as a transaction involving the transfer of part of the donor’s property to the donee on a gratuitous (free) basis. Relations of this kind are regulated by the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, article 572, in which the names of the parties to the participants and the procedure are prescribed. In fact, the donation of property takes place according to the same principles as the purchase, but taking into account the basic principle - gratuitousness. When concluding a contract, it is necessary to take into account some important nuances:
- The contract, implying a gift, does not provide for the occurrence of counterclaims to be presented.
- When donating, the real estate or its part cannot be transferred into the ownership of another person after the fact of the donor’s death (then a will is drawn up).
- An agreement on the transfer of immovable property (part thereof) on a gratuitous basis cannot be concluded by a person who has not reached the legal age or who has been declared legally incompetent.
- It is forbidden to conclude a gift agreement in favor of persons in the public service.
- Employees of social, educational, medical and medical institutions cannot be an endowed party if the persons being treated, supported, and their relatives act as a donor.
The donor has the opportunity to revoke the contract at any time, the donor has the same right. A disclaimer of obligations is made out in writing by the person who cancels the transaction. The automatic cancellation of the gift takes place in case of:
- Losses or significant deterioration in the health of the donor and, as a consequence, his disability.
- Challenging the donation process by other owners through the judiciary.
- Identification of the facts of unlawful actions (fraud) of the person presented with respect to the donor.
- Causes of established damage to property by the gifted person.
Basic requirements for the contract
It is necessary to draw up any document relating to property in real estate in writing, with the signatures of the participating parties. For example, an agreement on donating a share of an apartment to underage children as a donor is signed by relatives who have provided real estate, as a donor they sign legal representatives of the child. In this case, the signature of the guardian or one of the parents is put. The legislation does not oblige to notarize this document, it can be done at the request of the parties.
If the donor cannot independently sign, this can be done by an authorized person having a power of attorney, which is issued specifically in order to sign an agreement on donating a share of the apartment. A sample power of attorney can be obtained at any notary's office and certified there.
A simple contract form, handwritten, does not mean that it does not have to comply with legal requirements. Non-observance of them may lead to the recognition of the document as null and void, therefore, a legal consultation is necessary, or you can independently find the form “Contract for the donation of an apartment share”. The form of the standard form is available in regulatory enactments, by lawyers, notaries.

An agreement on donating a share of an apartment to a minor is not subject to taxation. Firstly, the child is not a tax resident, and secondly, property is transferred without cost determination on a gratuitous basis. In the event of the obligation to pay income tax, it is transferred by the representative (parent, guardian) of the child. A contract of donation of a share of an apartment to a relative is subject to taxation in case of not close kinship. Aunts, uncles, cousins, non-grandchildren, nephews are obliged to pay the state 13% of the value of the share of real estate received.
