Perintökiinteistö

Perintökiinteistö refers to real estate property that is inherited by an individual or individuals from a deceased person. This property can be a house, land, apartment, or any other type of real estate. When a person passes away, their assets, including any real estate they owned, typically become part of their estate. This estate is then distributed to the heirs according to the deceased's will or through the laws of intestate succession if no will exists.

The process of transferring ownership of a perintökiinteistö involves legal procedures. This usually includes obtaining a certificate of inheritance and registering the change of ownership with the relevant land registry authorities. Heirs may choose to keep the property, sell it, or divide it amongst themselves. If there are multiple heirs, they might become co-owners of the property and will need to agree on its management or disposition. Tax implications, such as inheritance tax, may also apply to perintökiinteistö, depending on the jurisdiction and the value of the inherited property. Understanding these legal and financial aspects is crucial for anyone dealing with inherited real estate.
