Features of inheritance of Ukrainian agricultural land by foreigners

According to the legislation of Ukraine, agricultural land can only be owned by citizens of Ukraine or legal entities of Ukraine (established by citizens of Ukraine or legal entities of Ukraine).

At the same time, the law does not exclude the right to inheritance, including agricultural lands, foreign citizens, stateless persons and foreign legal entities.

We recall that such lands include:

- agricultural land (arable land, perennial plantations, hayfields, pastures and crossings);

- non-agricultural land (paths and runs, field-protective forest strips and other protective stands, except those that are classified in the forestry, land under economic buildings and yards, land under the infrastructure of wholesale markets for agricultural products, land of temporary conservation, etc.).

In accordance with the established procedure, the specified categories of persons in the inheritance of agricultural land receive a certificate of the right to inherit with the attached state act on the ownership of this land plot, wich is verified by a notary and the land authority on the transfer of ownership to the heir.

It is worth knowing that, in accordance with the provisions of Articles 81, 82 of the Land Code of Ukraine, land for agricultural purposes inherited by foreigners, stateless persons or foreign legal entities must be alienated within one year.

If foreigners in any way do not dispose of the land within a year, it will be alienated by court.

You can find out more information on the inheritance features of foreign land lots (for commercial agricultural production), by law and by will, from the new video of the Ministry of Justice from the series «Know your right to land».
