Is it reasonable to transfer the property title? Notary and land registry costs?

Hello,

I hope I am in the right subforum, my topic also has something to do with inheritance law. The following situation:

I myself have been transferred a property from my parents in the course of an anticipated inheritance (without possible claims for repayment). At the same time, my wife and I bought the neighboring property.

Now the financing of the new building is pending and I wanted to have my property transferred to both spouses since the house is being built on both properties. Here I wonder whether this is even sensible due to the notary and land registry costs?

What consequences would a non-transfer have with regard to possible divorce and inheritance?

Thank you very much

Hi,

this is not legal advice, only a lawyer can provide that:

What consequences would a non-transfer have regarding possible divorce and inheritance?

If the property is registered only in your name, and you "inherited" it, it does not fall under community of accrued gains. In other words, in case of divorce, it remains yours. If you kick the bucket, your wife has to inherit the entire property. This can then affect inheritance tax.

It gets interesting if the house stands on both plots, meaning the property line runs right through the living room. For that, you should really ask a lawyer...

Best regards,
