Registration of an apartment donation agreement
Vladimir asks:
Good afternoon. My name is Vladimir.
I have an apartment in Dobrota for 11 years, and I want to give it to my son due to my advanced age. I am interested in what documents I should prepare in Moscow, where to make translations into Serbian, where to notarize, and how much it costs.

Good afternoon, Vladimir.
I will tell you point by point how and what needs to be prepared for the registration of the donation agreement.
1/ It is necessary to check the documents for real estate (whether there are restrictions on the actions that are indicated in the non-disclosure sheet, such as tax debt or garbage collection. Also check the legality of the object and whether there are any restrictions in the building such as prekoracenje dozvole or nema upotrebne dozvole). If the documents are clean, then you can prepare for the donation agreement immediately.
2/ The contract can be signed personally or by proxy, but the authorized person and the person being gifted must be different. If by proxy, then it is necessary to prepare a power of attorney from a notary in Moscow.
3/ If you are married, your spouse's consent to the donation. Also notarized.
All documents can be translated from Russian into Montenegrin here in Montenegro by a court interpreter.
4/ The donation transaction must take place in Montenegro with a Montenegrin notary (in Kotor, but it is also possible in Budva or Tivat).
The cost of the contract will be calculated from the estimated (market) value of the property, which will be specified in the contract.
If you need more detailed explanations, examples of powers of attorney and consent, you can contact us for advice and support.

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.
