If you have any questions related to the inheritance of a share in the authorized capital of a Limited Liability Company, you can contact the specialists of our company at the telephone numbers indicated above, write a letter to the email address or come to our office.

The heir's acceptance of part of the inheritance means that part of the property of the deceased testator is due to him. Its size, the fact of transition to a successor depends on several factors:

  • the volume of the property itself and its condition at the time of the death of the testator (pledged/not pledged);
  • the number of heirs whose rights to part of the property of the deceased are secured by law or will;
  • the presence of a will recognized by the representative of the law as valid - the shares of the successors are determined by the will of the testator (if his wishes do not contradict the legislation of the Russian Federation);
  • degree of relationship with the deceased (heirs of the second and further stages, not if there are living ones);
  • the legal capacity and financial situation of the successors to the inheritance (some dependents of the testator, disabled natural children/adopted children/spouse/parents almost always receive a share of the inheritance by right to an obligatory share);
  • relations of the heir with the deceased until the death of the latter (heirs recognized as unworthy are deprived of the right to the inheritance or part of it).

Legally justified acceptance of a share of the inheritance is possible after it has been carried out official division between successors by will or law. Acceptance is expressed by drawing up a statement of consent to take possession of the property due and transferring the document to the notary.

Refusal of inheritance (to find out how to do this, go to) of one or more successors of the deceased’s property does not oblige the remaining heirs to the same act.

The relinquished shares become the object of division between the remaining heirs who have agreed to accept the testator's property.

Along with accepting a share of the inheritance, the successor automatically becomes a participant in the payment of the testator’s debts, if any. The amount of the inherited debt is commensurate with the amount of the transferred inheritance.

Here we will look at how to get a part or share of the inheritance. The general algorithm is:

  1. Finding out the total cost of the entire will and completing the relevant documents.
  2. A visit to the notary by all heirs to write a statement of consent to the inheritance or to draw up a document of refusal.
  3. The notary divides the property according to the will or by law, taking into account the interests of the obligatory heirs.
  4. Appeal to the court if the heirs do not agree with the will of the testator, who recorded in the will his wishes about the division of his property among the heirs - the size of the shares, the circle of persons to whom they are due, will be determined by the court.

What are the shares and how are they distributed?

Shares are divided:

  • by will(the amount is determined by the testator, but is adjusted according to the rules of the law - if there are obligatory heirs or borrowers with a debt not repaid by the testator);
  • in law(divide equally the property not specified in the will or all the property - in the absence of a testamentary document, taking into account the obligatory heirs and the debts of the testator).

Mandatory share- part of the testator’s property, due to certain successors by law, regardless of other conditions for the division of the inheritance and the will of the testator. Mandatory shares are calculated first.

The successors under the will receive the portion specified in this document, provided that:

  • there are no compulsory heirs (including a living spouse);
  • the share to be allocated to the obligatory heirs will be determined from property not specified in the will;
  • inherited property is not collateral for an unpaid loan/credit.

If it is established that the intestate property is insufficient to satisfy the rights of the obligatory heir/s, compensation is possible from the property due to the heirs under the will. Provided that it is not necessary for their life and work. In the latter case, the final decision on the size of the obligatory share is made by the court on the basis of information about the financial situation of the obligatory heir and the heir under the will.

Successors by law receive equal shares.

You need to contact a notary's office and write a statement about your desire to exercise the right of successor to the property of a deceased relative. The application must be accompanied by documents confirming the relationship with the testator (read about what documents are needed for inheritance).

The share of the inheritance will be determined by a notary or court (unless the heirs independently agree on each person’s shares in the divisible property).

What a person claiming a compulsory share under a will needs to know:

  1. The allocation of a mandatory share does not require the consent of the remaining successors of the inheritance.
  2. Cohabitation with the testator under the conditions of, for example, a civil marriage does not give the right to a compulsory share (valid provided that the cohabitant was not a disabled dependent of the deceased).
  3. The right to a compulsory share is not inherited.
  4. The court may decide to deny the obligatory share, recognizing the successor as an unworthy heir.
  5. Children of the testator adopted by other persons during the lifetime of the parent lose the right to inherit his property (with the exception of cases of maintaining legal relations with the biological parent with the consent of the adoptive parent).
  6. Children of the testator, adopted by other persons after the death of the parent, retain the right to inherit his property (a list of persons entitled to the right is available).
  7. The obligatory share cannot be waived.

Who gets it?

Obligatory heirs are:

Disability in this context should be understood as:

  • retirement age of relatives (for women – 55, men – 60 years);
  • disability (I, II, III groups).

A mandatory condition for non-relative dependents claiming a compulsory share of the inheritance: living with the person who left the inheritance under the same roof for 12 months preceding the day of death of the testator.

What is the size?

Successors who have a valid claim to the obligatory share shall receive no less than half the share entitled to any successor under the will or by law.

If you are a pensioner

The size of the obligatory share of the inheritance for a pensioner heir (spouse, parent, dependent) is at least half the share allotted to each successor by will or by law.

Allocation of spousal share

Property acquired by married partners during their cohabitation, upon the death of one of them, is conditionally divided into two equal shares. One of them (in addition to things for personal use and received as a gift) is the property of a living spouse. In addition, the living spouse is also entitled to part of the property of the deceased marriage partner. The size of this share is determined by a notary or court.

With the death of the testator, only a few relatives are able to divide the remaining property, guided by the principles of conscience and decency. If successors feel deprived, they can demand justice by contacting.

Issues of judicial practice related to the procedure for inheriting a share in the authorized capital of a limited liability company

I. Inheritance of a share in the authorized capital of a limited liability company

Federal Law No. 14-FZ dated 02/08/1998 “On Limited Liability Companies” establishes the procedure for the heirs to acquire the share of a deceased participant in a limited liability company.
Today, legal disputes regarding the inheritance of a share in the authorized capital of a company concern the following issues:
- the procedure for acquiring the status of a participant in a limited liability company by a surviving spouse
- the procedure for acquiring the status of a participant in a limited liability company by an heir to a share
- the procedure for expressing consent (refusal) to accept an heir’s share in the LLC and the consequences of refusal
- trust management of shares in the authorized capital of a limited liability company until its acceptance by the heir of the deceased participant
- consequences for a limited liability company in the event that the heirs do not accept an inheritance that includes a share in the authorized capital of the company
- securing in the charter of a limited liability company a provision granting the right to the heir to a share in the authorized capital of the company to refuse to become a participant and to demand payment of its actual value

1. The procedure for acquiring the status of a participant in a limited liability company by a surviving spouse

In paragraph 8 of Art. 21 of the Law on Limited Liability Companies establishes that shares in the authorized capital of the company pass to the heirs of the company's participants, unless otherwise provided by its charter. In addition, the company's charter may stipulate that the transfer of a share to the heirs and legal successors of legal entities that were members of the company is permitted only with the consent of its remaining participants.
According to Art. 34 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation, property acquired by spouses during marriage is recognized as their joint property.
In connection with the application of these norms in practice, the question arises about the procedure for acquiring the status of a participant in a limited liability company by a surviving spouse.
1.1. Conclusion from judicial practice: The surviving spouse, who has received certificates of ownership of half of the joint property of the spouses and of inheritance, does not automatically acquire the status of a participant in a limited liability company if the company's charter provides for the mandatory receipt of the consent of other participants for the heir to join the membership. participants.
The courts proceed from the fact that the provisions of Art. Art. 34 and 35 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation establish only the composition of the objects of common joint property of spouses and its legal regime. The procedure for becoming a member of the company is regulated not by this regulatory act, but by the norms of corporate legislation.

2. The procedure for acquiring the status of a participant in a limited liability company by an heir to a share

In paragraph 8 of Art. 21 of the Law on Limited Liability Companies establishes that shares in the authorized capital of the company pass to the heirs of the company's participants, unless otherwise provided by its charter. In addition, the company's charter may stipulate that the transfer of a share to the heirs and legal successors of legal entities that were members of the company is permitted only with the consent of the remaining participants.
In practice, the question arises: from what moment does the heir to a share acquire the status of a participant in the company?
2.1. Conclusion from judicial practice: On the question of the moment at which the heir to a share acquires the status of a participant in the company, there are three positions of the courts.
Position 1. The heir to the share of a deceased participant acquires the status of a company participant from the date of opening of the inheritance.
The court proceeds from the fact that if, in accordance with the charter of the company, the consent of the remaining participants of the company to transfer the share to the heir is not required, then the share is transferred from the day the inheritance is opened. At the same time, all rights arising from the ownership of shares, including the management of the affairs of the company, are simultaneously transferred.
Position 2. The heir to the share acquires the status of a participant in the company from the moment information about him is entered into the Unified State Register of Legal Entities.
The court proceeds from the fact that the heir acquires the status of a company participant from the moment information about him is entered into the Unified State Register of Legal Entities if such information is entered on the basis of a court decision, taking into account that the company's charter does not provide for obtaining the consent of the remaining participants for the transfer of the share to the heir.
Position 3. The heir to the share acquires the status of a participant in the company after receiving certificates of ownership of half of the common joint property and the right to inheritance and after written notification to the company, accompanied by evidence of his rights to the marital share (except for cases where the charter of the company requires the consent of others participants to join the participants).
The court proceeds from the fact that from the systematic interpretation of the provisions of paragraph 6 of Article 21 of the LLC Law in their interrelation with other articles of the said Law, it follows that the rights and obligations of a company participant arise from the moment the company is notified of the ownership of a share in the authorized capital of the company. At the same time, the Law requires compliance with a written form of notification to the company about the transfer of a share (part of a share) in the authorized capital of the company with the presentation of evidence of ownership of the share (part of a share). Thus, the heir acquires the status of a participant from the moment of written notification (with evidence attached) to the company of his rights to the marital share.
2.2. Conclusion from judicial practice: The share of a deceased member of the company passes to the heirs from the date of opening of the inheritance, if the charter of the company contains a provision that the share of the deceased member passes to his heirs only with the consent of the participants, and such consent was obtained after the death of the participant.
2.3. Conclusion from judicial practice: Until the issuance of a certificate of the right to inheritance and state registration of the corresponding changes in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, the composition of the company's participants is uncertain, therefore, the possibility of exercising the subjective right to the pre-emptive right to purchase a share in the authorized capital arises upon the occurrence of these circumstances.
2.4. Conclusion from judicial practice: The provision of a company providing for the admission of new participants into the company only by decision of its participants does not apply to relations related to the inheritance of a share, unless special provisions of the charter on the transfer of the right to a share to the heirs do not directly indicate the need to obtain consent other participants in society for such a transition.

3. The procedure for expressing consent (refusal) to accept an heir’s share in the LLC and the consequences of refusal

In accordance with paragraph 8 of Art. 21 of the Law on Limited Liability Companies, the charter of the company may provide that the transfer of a share in the authorized capital of the LLC to the heirs of the persons who were participants in the LLC is allowed only with the consent of the remaining participants of the company.
The conditions under which consent to transfer the share to the heir is considered received are defined in paragraph 10 of Art. 21 of the Law on Limited Liability Companies.
If at least one of the company participants refuses to consent to the transfer of the share to the heir, the share passes to the company.
As a general rule, the company is obliged to pay the heir the actual value of the share or give in kind property of the same value within a year from the date of transfer of the share to the company, unless a shorter period is provided for by the Law on Limited Liability Companies or the charter (clause 8 of Article 23 of the Law on Limited Liability Companies) limited liability companies).
Meanwhile, the Law on Limited Liability Companies does not establish during what period the company’s participants can refuse to accept the heir into the LLC, and also during what time, in the event of such a refusal, the company is obliged to pay him the actual value of the share.
3.1. Conclusion from judicial practice: Members of the company cannot express their refusal to accept the heir's share in the LLC before the expiration of the six-month period established for entering into inheritance rights and (or) presentation of a certificate of the right to inheritance.
The courts proceed from the fact that before presenting a certificate of the right to inheritance, the heir cannot present evidence of his right to a share in the LLC. Accordingly, the participants cannot be asked to give consent to transfer the share to the heir in the absence of evidence that the person is the heir.
As a general rule, a certificate of right to inheritance is issued after six months from the date of opening of the inheritance. It is necessary to take into account that if there is reliable information that there are no other heirs other than those who applied for the certificate, the certificate of inheritance can be issued before the expiration of the six-month period.
3.2. Conclusion from judicial practice: The absence of a written refusal of a participant to consent to the transfer of a share in the authorized capital of the company to the heirs cannot be recognized as consent to the admission of heirs to the company, if the application of the heirs for such consent was not received by the participant and the decision of the general meeting on the issue of admitting the heirs to the company members of the company was declared invalid at the request of the specified participant.
3.3. Conclusion from judicial practice: If the participants of a company refuse to accept an heir into the LLC, the heir must be paid the actual value of the share within three months from the date of transfer of the share to the company, unless a different period is established by the charter of the company.

4. Trust management of shares in the authorized capital of a limited liability company until its acceptance by the heir of a deceased participant

According to paragraph 8 of Art. 21 of the Law on Limited Liability Companies, before the acceptance of the inheritance by the heir of a deceased member of the company, the management of his share in the authorized capital of the company is carried out in the manner prescribed by the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.
Article 1173 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation establishes that if the inheritance includes property that requires not only protection, but also management (enterprise, share in the authorized (share) capital of a business partnership or company, securities, exclusive rights, etc.), notary in accordance with Art. 1026 of this Code, as a founder of trust management, enters into a trust management agreement for this property. In accordance with Art. 1020 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the trustee exercises, within the limits provided for by law and the property trust management agreement, the powers of the owner in relation to the property that is transferred to trust management.
However, in practice, questions arise regarding the right of the trustee to vote at general meetings of participants in a limited liability company.
4.1. Conclusion from judicial practice: If the heirs do not contact the executor of the will (notary) in order to establish trust management within a reasonable time, and the executor of the will (notary) does not take measures to manage the inherited share and the company does not receive appropriate notification, the participants of this company have the right to contact to the executor of the will (notary) on the appointment of a trustee.
Note: In this situation, the agenda of the general meeting included the issue of electing a general director who died before the meeting. At the same time, the charter contained a provision according to which the decision on the election of the general director is made unanimously by all participants of the company. In this connection, the court pointed out that failure to take measures for the trust management of the inherited share within a reasonable period of time could prevent the exercise of the right of the company's participants to organize its activities due to the impossibility of ensuring a quorum at the general meeting of the company's participants on the issue of electing the general director of the company.
At the same time, the court indicated that in addition to applying to the executor of the will (notary) for the appointment of a trustee, the heirs have the right to apply to the arbitration court with an application for the appointment of an external managing company in relation to the provisions of Art. 57 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation or with an application for the exclusion of heirs from the membership of the company in accordance with Art. 10 of the Law on Limited Liability Companies.
4.2. Conclusion from judicial practice: If the heirs do not contact the executor of the will (notary) in order to establish trust management within a reasonable time, and the executor of the will (notary) does not take measures to manage the inherited share and the company does not receive appropriate notification, the company has the right to take the necessary steps for its further functioning of the action without the participation of the trustee.
Note: The court indicated that the company has the right to carry out appropriate actions without the participation of a trustee, unless other circumstances prevent the continuation of the company’s activities.
4.3. Conclusion from judicial practice: On the question of whether a trustee has the right to vote at a general meeting of company participants, there are two positions of the courts.
Position 1. The trustee does not have the right to vote at the general meeting of participants of the limited liability company.
The courts proceed from the analysis of the provisions of Chapter. 53 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation on trust management, according to which the trustee cannot exercise the rights of a company participant to manage shares.
Position 2. The trustee has the right to vote at general meetings of participants of the limited liability company.
The court proceeds from the interpretation of paragraph 2 of Art. 1012 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, according to which, when carrying out trust management of property, the trustee has the right to perform any legal and actual actions in relation to this property in accordance with the trust management agreement in the interests of the beneficiary. The trustee exercises, within the limits provided for by law and agreement, the powers of the owner in relation to the property transferred to trust management.

5. Consequences for a limited liability company if the heirs do not accept an inheritance that includes a share in the authorized capital of the company

In accordance with Art. 1151 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, if there are no heirs both by law and by will, or none of the heirs have the right to inherit or all heirs are excluded from inheritance (Article 1117 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation), or none of the heirs accepted the inheritance, or all heirs refused from the inheritance and none of them indicated that they were refusing in favor of another heir (Article 1158 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation), the property of the deceased is considered escheat. Such property passes by inheritance according to law into the ownership of the Russian Federation, with the exception of residential premises (clause 2 of Article 1151 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).
In practice, a situation may arise when a deceased member of the company has no heirs or neither the heirs nor the state accepts the inheritance. In this regard, the question arises about the subsequent actions of the company in relation to the share of the deceased participant.
5.1. Conclusion from judicial practice: If the heirs of the deceased owner of a share in the authorized capital of an LLC do not contact the company and the company does not have information about accepting the inheritance, and the registering authority does not take measures to obtain a certificate of right to the share as escheat property, the company makes a decision to transfer the share on the balance of society is the only possible way to protect civil rights (self-defense).
The court proceeds from the fact that if for a long time after the death of a participant no one has applied to the limited liability company with a certificate of inheritance and there is no information that anyone has accepted the inheritance, then the company has the right to decide to transfer the share of the deceased participant to the balance sheet of the company and payment to the heirs upon presentation of a certificate of right to inheritance of the actual value of the share.

6. Incorporation in the charter of a limited liability company of a provision granting the right to the heir to a share in the authorized capital of the company to refuse to become a participant and to demand payment of its actual value

In practice, a situation may arise when participants in a limited liability company include the following provisions in the company’s charter: “The share in the authorized capital of the company passes to the heirs of the company participant, and in their absence, to the company. The heir’s refusal to join the company means refusal to accept the share "the testator and entails the transfer of his share to the company. In this case, the heir is paid the share of the retired participant based on the data in the company's accounting statements for the last reporting period preceding the day of death."
In this regard, the question arises about the possibility of introducing such provisions into the charter of a limited liability company.
6.1. Conclusion from judicial practice: The provision of the charter of a limited liability company, according to which the heir of a company participant has the right to refuse to include him in the list of participants and demand payment of the actual value of the share, contradicts the Law on Limited Liability Companies.
The court proceeds from the fact that, according to paragraph 1 of Art. 23 of the Law on Limited Liability Companies, a company does not have the right to acquire shares (parts thereof) in its authorized capital, except for the cases provided for by this Law.

Changes: January, 2019

​You can register a share in an LLC by inheritance in the event of the death of the testator, who is the owner of a part in the authorized capital of the business entity. The procedure for registering rights to inherited property is carried out in the manner prescribed by the current civil legislation. To implement it, it is necessary to fulfill a number of requirements and prepare a package of documents.

The article provides information on how to register a share in an LLC by inheritance, what documents need to be prepared to implement the procedure, as well as what you can count on if the charter provides for a ban on transferring a share of capital by inheritance.

What does the law and legal practice say?

According to the provisions of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, in particular Article 93 of this source of law, part of the authorized capital of the company, owned by its participant by right of ownership, can be transferred to his relatives by inheritance.

Note! The law does not limit the right of LLC founders to establish a ban on inheritance of its assets. If such a restriction occurs, it must be recorded in the company's charter.

To exclude the possibility of unwanted participants joining the founders, its founders often include a clause in the charter stating that part of the capital can be inherited only with the consent of the other founders of the company.

It should be noted that legal practice in recent years has been saturated with cases of inheriting a share in an LLC, which indicates the relevance of the issue and the popularity of such an organizational and legal form as a limited liability company.

Additional Information! LLC is one of the optimal forms of organizing business activities, which is popular among representatives of small and medium-sized businesses. Although more requirements are put forward for an LLC, in comparison with an individual entrepreneur, enterprises of this organizational and legal form are more competitive and prone to development.

The procedure for entering into inheritance rights

According to civil law, property owned by a person in the event of his death is transferred to his heirs. Inheritance is carried out by law or by will. If the testator was one of the founders of the LLC, accordingly, he owned a share in the authorized capital of the company; after his death, it passes to his descendants.

Important! The transfer of part of the company's assets is possible subject to compliance not only with civil law, but also with the clauses of the charter.

Thus, the statutory documents may provide for the following conditions:

  • entry into the LLC of the heir of one of the company's participants is possible only with the consent of its remaining members;
  • the heir’s entry into the circle of founders is prohibited.

Note! The presence of any conditions in the charter limits the rights of the heirs, but in no case deprives them of the right to inherit.

For example, if the charter contains a clause prohibiting a person who is the heir of a deceased founder from joining the membership, this does not mean that he will be left with nothing, and the testator’s share will go to the LLC. The inheritance procedure with conditions of this kind is described in more detail below.

Managing shares until inheritance

The rules for managing inherited property, in particular shares in the charter of an LLC, are regulated by Art. 1173 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. In accordance with this norm, the management of the part, from the moment the inheritance is opened until the heirs enter into their rights, is carried out by a notary on the basis of an inheritance trust management agreement.

Features of the trust management agreement:

  • a person vested with the powers of a manager in accordance with the agreement has the right to carry out all operations necessary for the full functioning of the LLC;
  • the contract, as a rule, specifies all types of actions that the manager is allowed to perform;
  • the manager does not have the right to dispose of the share, the management of which is entrusted to him according to the agreement;
  • the agreement terminates at the moment the heir joins the founders of the LLC and the ownership of the share in the capital of the LLC is transferred to him;
  • if the heir is denied the right to become one of the founders of the company, which is justified by the charter of the LLC, the moment of termination of the agreement is the moment of disposal of the testator's shares (distribution among other founders, alienation, repayment).

Inheritance of part of capital without restrictions

The simplest procedure for transferring a share in an LLC by inheritance is used if the charter does not provide for any restrictions regarding heirs. If, in order to exercise his right, the heir is not required to obtain permission from the current participants of the company, the procedure is carried out in accordance with the norms of the relevant legislative acts.

It is worth noting that in recent years such situations have happened extremely rarely; as a rule, issues of inheriting part of the capital of an LLC are resolved only through agreement.

To enter into inheritance rights, the heir must contact a notary office to obtain a Certificate.

You must have the following documents with you:

  1. applicant's passport;
  2. original certificate from the place of registration of the testator;
  3. original Death Certificate;
  4. documents indicating the presence of family ties between the applicant and the deceased founder of the LLC;
  5. copies of statutory documents;
  6. documents confirming the deceased’s ownership of a share in the capital of the company, which, in fact, is the subject of inheritance;
  7. a complete list of current members of the LLC;
  8. a copy of a certificate confirming the fact of payment by the deceased founder of his share in the capital of the LLC.

An integral condition for the implementation of the procedure is an assessment, which results in a report on the market value of that part of the authorized capital that is subject to inheritance. Without providing this document, registration of the right to a share in an LLC by inheritance is impossible.

The powers necessary to carry out assessment activities are possessed by specialized companies that have received permission to provide services of this kind.

Assessment stages:

  1. conducting a detailed analysis of the main economic indicators of the region in which the company operates;
  2. establishing the factors determining the activities of the LLC;
  3. familiarization with the reporting documentation of the company;
  4. assessment of the general financial condition of the company;
  5. studying the business activity of an enterprise with the subsequent determination of its liquidity;
  6. establishing the nature of the share that is the subject of inheritance;
  7. establishing the cost equivalent of the inherited share, taking into account the results obtained during the previous stages.

Based on the results of the work, the expert issues an assessment report, drawn up on paper and signed by the head of the assessment company. The contents of the document must be previously agreed upon by the appraiser with an administrative representative.

Subtleties of registration of inheritance rights, connection between assessment and amount of state duty

An assessment of the inheritance share is necessary not only to find out its value, but also to determine the amount of the state duty, the payment of which is one of the main conditions for registering inheritance rights.

The amount of the duty depends on two factors:

  1. estimated value of the share;
  2. degree of relationship of the heir.

Additional Information! The amount of the duty is regulated by tax legislation. Thus, relatives of the first degree (children, parents) will have to pay 0.3% of the estimated value of the inherited share to take over their rights.

However, the law sets a limit on the amount of state duty for such persons; it cannot exceed 100 thousand rubles.

Heirs of the second and subsequent degrees must pay 0.6%, while the maximum payment cannot be more than 1 million.

After checking the accuracy and authenticity of all documents provided by the applicant, which includes an expert’s opinion, the notary issues a Certificate, on the basis of which the heir becomes a member of the founders of the company with the simultaneous transfer to him of the share previously owned by the testator.

The final stage is the registration of property rights to part of the inherited capital. To implement the procedure, you must contact Rosreestr with an application for amendments to the Unified State Register of Legal Entities and a package of documents.

These include:

  • documents confirming the existence of the right to a share in the LLC, previously certified by a notary;
  • materials indicating that the applicant was accepted into the founders of the company as a successor to a deceased participant.

To confirm this fact, as a rule, they use an extract from the minutes drawn up during the meeting of the LLC founders dedicated to resolving this issue. The minutes must be drawn up in accordance with legal requirements and contain all the necessary details (information about the founders who took part in the meeting, their signatures, the date of the meeting and other data).

Inheritance of a share in an LLC with a condition

Most often, inheritance of a share in an LLC occurs only if the remaining participants agree with the admission of a new founder to the company. This requirement is quite justified, since in the case of inheritance by law, and not by will, the heir may be a person who is not related to the business and does not have the skills necessary to run it.

To protect society from unqualified interference, its founders introduce a restrictive clause into the content of the charter.

The procedure for entering into the right of inheritance in this case is similar to the standard one. The only difference is that the basis for accepting an heir as a member of the LLC is not a Certificate, as in the previous case, but the consent of the existing founders.

Procedure for obtaining consent:

  1. sending a notarized offer to the company or sending out appeals separately addressed to each founder;
  2. getting a response. Shareholders are given a period of 30 days to make a decision. During this period, they need to notify the heir of their decision.

If all founders make a positive decision, this information is entered into the minutes.

What to do if the founders of the company do not agree with the transfer of a share in the LLC to a new participant?

If at least one of the company's participants reveals his disagreement with the introduction of a new founder, the latter has the right to demand compensation for the cost of the inherited part in monetary or other equivalent.

The cost of the share depends on:

  1. the size of the company's net assets;
  2. the size of the hereditary part.

Important! The basis for settlement transactions is the financial and accounting statements of the LLC.

What can you count on if the transfer of part of the capital by inheritance is prohibited by the charter?

Cases when the charter of a company prohibits the transfer of shares by inheritance, although extremely rare, do sometimes occur. The only option for resolving an issue of this kind is to present the founders of the company with a demand to pay compensation in the amount of the value of the deceased shareholder’s share.

This must be done immediately after receiving the Certificate from the notary.

Important! The timing of payment of compensation, its amount and calculation procedure are established at the meeting of the founders of the company.

In some cases, payment is not made. This applies to cases where:

  • the company has all the signs of financial insolvency;
  • The organization is subject to bankruptcy proceedings.

After the heir receives compensation, the testator's share passes directly into the ownership of the company, is distributed among its members, or is alienated in favor of a third party.
