Yes, if the land was acquired during the marriage. A contract for the sale of a plot is notarised, and for such transactions the law requires the other spouse\u2019s written, notarised consent (Art. 65 of the Family Code). Without it the notary will not complete the deal, and if it was given as a formality the deal is later challenged. Check the same on the seller\u2019s side when you are the buyer.<\/p><\/div><\/details>The plot has no cadastral number. Can it be sold?<\/h3>No. Without a cadastral number the notary will not certify the contract and the registrar will not record the transfer. First you commission technical land management documentation establishing the boundaries, enter the data in the State Land Cadastre and obtain an extract, and only then go to the deal. That takes several weeks and is paid for separately from the lawyer\u2019s work.<\/p><\/div><\/details>The council is hinting at a \u201cvoluntary contribution\u201d for a favourable decision. What should I do?<\/h3>Such demands are unlawful: only the payments provided for by law are due on a transfer of land. The effective approach is to file the application in writing through the administrative services centre or by post with a list of contents, wait for a written reply, and challenge the refusal or inaction in the administrative court. The court can order the council to consider the matter on its merits, and that is what decides the case, not private arrangements.<\/p><\/div><\/details>Does a land lease pass by inheritance?<\/h3>As a rule, yes: a land lease forms part of the estate and passes to the heirs unless the contract says otherwise. The heir needs to obtain the certificate of inheritance and register the transfer of the lease. The contract is worth reading in advance: some provide for the lease to end on the tenant\u2019s death.<\/p><\/div><\/details>The plot is in a front-line community. Can anything be registered now?<\/h3>Registration actions in areas where hostilities are taking place or which were occupied are restricted, and in such communities registration is postponed until the registers work again. What can be done now: gather and digitise the title documents, order archive copies of the council\u2019s decisions, record the condition of the plot. Disputes over such land are heard by the courts under the altered jurisdiction rules.<\/p><\/div><\/details>I live in another region or abroad. Can the case be run remotely?<\/h3>Yes. The engagement letter is signed electronically, you send documents as scans, the claim is filed through the Electronic Court with the discount on the fee, and the lawyer attends hearings on a warrant or by video. Attendance in person is needed only for notarial acts, and even then they can be done through an advocate.<\/p><\/div><\/details><\/div>
Contact a Svarog land lawyer<\/h2>\n Describe the situation: we will check the plot against the cadastre and the property rights register, assess the risks and tell you what can realistically be done now and what has to wait until the ban is lifted. A 5,000 UAH check while you are still choosing the plot saves a year of applications to the council and a court expert report later.<\/p>\n
