Entitlement to child-building allowance after inheritance case

Where do you see the big delay?

Issuance of the certificate of inheritance?
Distribution among the heirs?
Subsequent notary appointment?
Land register entry?

So that we are not talking past each other. You want to renounce your inheritance in order to be free of the property as quickly as possible? If not, the question is whether you first end up in the land register and then have to get out again. No idea how that works. Land register entries take at least 4 months here (Saxony), because all offices have to give their approval. Notary appointments are sometimes as sought after as specialist doctor appointments (months of waiting).

The biggest problem I see, however, is the distribution among the heirs. The notary will have to get involved here as well, right? Can someone pay you out? Do the others perhaps want (all) to be paid out as well?

No, renouncing the inheritance does not help me. In that case, the inheritance would pass to my children and there would again be no child building allowance, since they are household members.
The land register will not be changed initially; that will only happen after the division and the drafting of a corresponding contract by the notary.
A payout is possible, as cash amounts are also available and included in the inheritance.

In my opinion, the bottlenecks are: obtaining the certificate of inheritance (an accelerated procedure has already been requested) and the subsequent notary appointment as well as entry in the land register.
The division should be a matter of 1-2 days; an agreement will be reached.
I am already trying to organize a notary appointment now and hope that the certificate of inheritance will be issued by then.

In any case, I wish you a lot of strength. For the loss of the loved one and for everything that now lies ahead!

"That's when people agree" ... unfortunately, that happens in very few cases. I estimate that of the heirs, 2/3 will be interested in a payout and only 1/3 in the properties themselves. In the end, the property has to be sold and the proceeds will be divided, which overall stretches over years. I have already witnessed a few such cases live.

Thank you very much!

As I said, I am relatively optimistic here. It concerns several smaller apartments in student cities, which can also be quickly turned into cash for the future owners if necessary. Money to pay out is part of the inheritance and is also available among the parties involved. As long as you do not see any time hurdles with the authorities or the notary, I am somewhat reassured and remain optimistic.

The example clearly shows again what a blatant mess the Baukindergeld is. Because of the residential shares in the low four-digit range, one is supposed to have no entitlement anymore.

Here is the wording from the information sheet:

Sofern der Haushalt (Antragsteller sowie Ehe- oder Lebenspartner oder Partner aus eheähnlicher Gemeinschaft oder Kinder) Eigentum an einer selbstgenutzten oder vermieteten Wohnimmobilie in Deutschland zur Dauernutzung besitzt, ist eine Förderung mit dem Baukindergeld nicht möglich.

In my opinion, this is hard to interpret. Possibly, the property never transfers to you if all heirs are not first entered in the land register. Permanent use? Who comes up with such nonsense?

Even if the inheritance is no obstacle here, how far along are you with the planning of the construction? If you are still at zero now, it is quite possible that the funds will be exhausted by the time you actually have a building permit.

Thank you very much!

Sounds stupid, but the inheritance doesn’t make you poorer... therefore I would apply for the [baukindergeld] now and signal to the rest of the family that you want to give up the shares. Eight owners of several apartments again is also stressful.
