Is there a risk of divorce when buying an apartment after the new law

Re-registration of real estate both in case of purchase and sale carries great risks. Attackers always contrive to new schemes of divorce of gullible citizens. The secondary real estate market is particularly at risk. After all, if the seller is a legal entity, then the likelihood that a scam can happen is reduced significantly. Consider the most common tricks encountered when buying a home.

Fake Passport

An apartment rented by intruders is for sale. In the process of concluding a lease, the owner and tenant, as a rule, exchange copies of passports. It is using these data that a new fake passport is made, but with a photograph of a figurehead. This “document” helps in obtaining duplicates of documents of title and the further sale of housing. After some time, the new owner finds out that he has become a victim of scammers, however, the transaction is considered invalid and the legal owner has the right to demand that the premises be vacated.

Gift agreement

Trusting citizens included in the high-risk group (drug-addicted, mentally ill or elderly people) enter into an agreement with scammers. The property, as a rule, goes through a certain circle of fictitious transactions, and then sold to the victim. The fact of the first implementation is recognized as invalid, justifying this by the fact that a person had limited or did not have any legal capacity at all. The legal owner is the first owner.

The heirs

One of the most risky purchases is the acquisition of real estate after the seller has inherited. Not only the forgery of a fictitious will in the process of execution is possible, but also the appearance of other heirs claiming their rightful part within six months from the day of death of the owner.

Power of Attorney

A risky way in which a buyer may encounter a fake, revoked, or written on behalf of a deceased person power of attorney. In order not to be fooled, it is recommended to conduct such a transaction only in the presence of the owner.

Minor children

An extract by parents of children less than six months before the privatization of housing is an occasion for invalidating the contract of sale because the rights of the child have been violated. An apartment can be removed if, before the child reaches the age of 21, he appealed to the court for recognition of a violation of his right.

The goal of attackers is always to seize the money of fooled gullible property buyers. That is why they are clever on various new methods associated with gaps in the law. From time to time, the legislator revises the current legal norms, introducing amendments to it and improving the process of real estate turnover. Unfortunately, this does not give any guarantee that after a certain time a new fraudulent scheme will not be devised.
