Hello, Ksenia!
The owner can issue a deed of gift to anyone. But in your case you will need to pay a 3% tax, because are not relatives of the donor. The notary is paid according to the tariff scale. If the apartment was bought in a marriage, then half of it is already the property of the wife (i.e. yours), i.e. You need to give only the second half of the apartment, respectively, the tax is less. If you donate to your father, etc., you need a certificate of marriage, divorce, the consent of the spouse or personal presence.
Regards,
Ivana

Good afternoon, Ksenia
Yes, you can issue a gift certificate. In this case, the transfer of ownership is made out similarly to the usual transaction of sale. That is - a notary public, two parties: the donor and the gifted; licensed translator. within 15 days, payment of 3% of the cadastral price of the apartment, registration in the Cadastre and the tax office. Only the Contract does not include the sale price and payment term. 3% are not paid only between children and parents.

MONTENEGRO. Other issues
1) Is it possible to make a donation transaction if there are tax debts?
2) The validity period of the power of attorney in Montenegro, if it does not specify the term?
3) The cost of registration of the donation agreement?
4) The deadline for registration of the agreement?
5) In what cases may it not be registered?
6) If the apartment was bought in marriage, and one spouse died, should the other open an inheritance case if the property was not divided during the divorce?

Good afternoon. My mother wants to donate real estate (apartment and garage) to me (son). which she has in Montenegro (Becici). She herself cannot travel to Montenegro due to her advanced age and lack of a foreign passport. I can only come myself. Tell me what documents we need to prepare for the real estate reissue.
