Who can be compensated for wartime destroyed housing if the owner is killed.
In Ukraine, work is still ongoing on a compensation mechanism for housing destroyed during the war. Losses can already be documented and reported. However, many Ukrainians are interested in the question: what to do, if the owner of a damaged or destroyed house dies? According to Draft Law No. 7198 dated March 24, 2022, heirs can receive funds, reports the Chronicle.info with reference to TSN.
In the case when the owner of the destroyed housing, who died, made a will, all the persons indicated in the document have the right to inherit. If there is no will, the right to inherit occurs in accordance with the law. That is, heirs can alternately receive the right to inherit (if there are no heirs of the first stage, they do not accept the inheritance, or they are removed from the right to inherit, such a right passes to the next line of heirs).
How exactly is the queue for right inheritance in accordance with the law:
- first, the right to inherit is given to the children of the owner of the deceased home (including those who were conceived during his lifetime, but born after death), the husband /wife and parents;
- then the turn goes to siblings, as well as to grandparents on the paternal or maternal side;
- the third priority is an uncle/aunt;
- the fourth priority is persons who lived with the owner of the property, who died as one family for at least five years before his death;
- last of all, the right all other relatives receive inheritances.
What to do if there are no title deeds
Even if you have lost your title deeds, you still need to apply for compensation for your destroyed housing during the war. At the first stage, you only need information about damage.
It should be noted that all documents on the right of ownership are also contained in relevant state registries.
