If such papers are lost or were not issued for some reason, they will have to be restored. To do this, you need to collect available information about ownership and submit an application either to Rosreestr or to the judicial authorities. However, in the first case, the information must already be available in the Unified State Register of Real Estate. They go to court when the registering organization refuses to issue a new certificate.

How is it possible to restore documents for a land plot?

Documents for a land plot are the main ones to confirm ownership. In their absence, it is not possible to formalize a transaction with the allotment. The owner will not be able to even confirm the location of the land and its size.

When lost, significant problems arise associated with the restoration of lost information. Despite all the obstacles, the procedure must be carried out without fail.

It is important to find out how to restore lost documents for a land plot. In case of loss of the certificate of state registration of property rights, you must visit Rosreestr

. A paper may be issued based on other documents. An additional state fee for re-registration is paid.

There may be some problems with some documents. This often happens when papers that were drawn up back in Soviet times are lost. It is necessary to find out where to go in this case and how the restoration procedure works in 2022.

How to restore ownership of a land plot through the court?

Restoration of the right to a land plot in court is carried out when the plot was taken forcibly and with violations, or in other situations provided for by law. Rights will have to be restored in the event of unauthorized seizure of land and subsequent use of it. It doesn’t matter what the basis is in your case, the main thing is that there is a proven violation of the owner’s rights.

The procedure for restoring property rights is carried out sequentially in four stages:

1. The person whose rights have been violated collects evidence of unlawful actions;
2. A statement of claim is drawn up, the state fee is paid and the claim is filed in court;
3. If the petition is drawn up without errors and all documents are submitted, the judge sets the date and time of the hearing in which he will have to participate;
4. The court satisfied the claims - an appeal is submitted to Rosreestr to register the restored rights to the land.

Typically, the trial lasts for a year or several years. The minimum period is 3-4 weeks. If you need to register the right after the decision is made, it will take another month.

To file a claim, you will need passport data, title documents for the land, technical papers (cadastral passport, extract on the presence of real estate on the site). In addition to these documents, you must provide evidence of violated rights:

• a certificate from the local municipality confirming the legality of the use of the plot;
• confirmation of the use of the site for its intended purpose (if it is seized for violating it);
• testimony of witnesses and expert opinions proving the satisfactory condition of the site.

Additionally, you can provide confirmation of payment of utility bills or an extract from the tax office, where all payments for land taxes are noted.

In a lawsuit, in addition to restoring the violated right, it is necessary to demand compensation for losses caused by illegal actions of authorities or third parties. If during the unauthorized seizure the characteristics of the soil were damaged, it is necessary to demand that the defendant restore them at his own expense. A qualified lawyer will help you draft the application correctly.

Which copies should be returned?

A person can lose various types of land documents. They allow you to clarify the position of the site, as well as confirm its intended purpose.

Restoration will be required in case of loss:

• extracts from the unified state register of real estate, where the owner is indicated;
• a certificate that confirms land ownership;
• certificates of receipt of real estate by inheritance law;
• a document issued by government authorities on the provision of a plot to a citizen;
• certificates of lifelong ownership of land with the possibility of its inheritance to other persons.

Before restoring documents on the ownership of a land plot, it is necessary to determine the type of lost paper. There are two main categories of documentation: title-certifying and title-establishing.

The title document is the main one. It is considered the source of obtaining title documents. Government agencies require that you obtain this document.

If the above papers are lost, then you can simplify the situation if you have:

• a certified act confirming the fact of ownership of the land plot;
• court decision;
• certificate confirming ownership based on inheritance.

If documents were received in the 70s, it may be difficult to restore them. But it is more difficult to obtain duplicates for papers issued from 2022 to 2022.

During this period, blue certificates were issued by local authorities. It is necessary to contact the municipality that carried out the registration. After sending the application, a certified copy is issued.

Next, it’s worth visiting the administration archive. The copy makes it possible to confirm the fact that the allotment has been allocated to the citizen. The paper is the basis for registration actions.

After the publication of the note, the designated documents will be declared invalid and fraudsters will not be able to use them for their own purposes.

As a rule, documents that have been restored instead of lost ones bear a special “Duplicate” stamp. However, despite this circumstance, they have the same legal force as the originals.

To restore the document, you should contact one of the authorized bodies described above, where you need to write a personal application requesting the issuance of a duplicate certificate or act. The application must indicate when and under what circumstances the original document was lost, and an issue of a newspaper with the published advertisement must also be attached to the document. Based on the request, permission will be issued to make duplicates of the lost document.

The payment receipt must be kept and submitted to the authorized authorities. Duplicates of documents will be available within the time limits specified by authorized employees.

It is very easy to restore documents for a land plot, just as it is to restore documents for an apartment, if all the documentation was completed properly, in accordance with the current legislation of the Russian Federation.

how to restore land documents

Owners of country plots and houses are replenished not only with the amount of living space, but also with a package of important documentation in the form of relevant “land” papers, which are of high value. However, sometimes it happens that securities are lost, and then a very definite question arises regarding how to restore land documents, and whether it is even possible to restore them. Fortunately, in our time, any document can be recreated

. To do this, you just need to collect the necessary papers and go to government agencies vested with the appropriate powers.

Land documentation

Restoring land documents is a very lengthy and labor-intensive process, for successful resolution of which you should clearly understand the types of land documentation. It is presented in two categories:

- establishing rights;

- legal certifiers.

Documentation of the title type is basic. Only if it is available, title documents will be issued. State structures dealing with land issues first require the collection of title documents, after verification of which they require the provision of documents of title type

.
There are also land papers belonging to the technical category of documentation, which includes various passports and various kinds of official papers. However, recently, documents of this type have increasingly become equated to the category “certifying rights”
. For this reason, it is now customary to divide all land documentation into only two types.

Peculiarities:

a) Documents evidencing the existence of a registration place and containing relevant information about the owner are issued by the BTI authorities, which automatically makes this documentation non-legal. Such papers, as a rule, are equated and attached to the documentation that serves as the basis for the transfer of land rights.

b) In turn, paper documentation proving perpetual land use is classified as legal documentation.

c) In the event of a plot of land being transferred to one’s own disposal or lease use, there will be non-legal category of papers. This category of documents can only include a set of decisions proclaiming the conditions of land provision or the protocol results of auctions.

Copyright certifiers

This category of land securities includes:

- a certificate proving ownership of the land;

- a certificate informing about the right of lifelong ownership of land received as an inheritance;

— a certificate proving the right to permanent or unlimited use of land;

- a state-issued act on land ownership, informing about the lifelong ownership of land received as an inheritance and its perpetual use.

Here it is important to take into account that the documents certifying the title presented above have the force of a legal type only in conjunction with the papers “establishing the right”. For this reason, a document evidencing legal land registration of a state type has a link to a certificate establishing land rights to a given plot.

The submitted certificate also contains the following information:

— the full name of the land owner, as well as other information of a personal nature;

— legal view of the land;;

— category of land plot with area size and location address;

- cadastral number;

— restrictions or encumbrances of the right, if any.

How to restore documents for a house and land?

As a rule, owners of land plots build them up with private houses, cottages, as well as various extensions to them. When all land documentation and papers for the house are received, they are always kept together. For this reason, if securities for a plot of land are lost, the corresponding documentation for the house also disappears.

. Then it is already necessary to restore the “house” and land documents.

How to restore lost documents for land will be discussed below, but now we will consider possible options for restoring documentation for a house.

In reality, everything is not as scary and difficult as it might seem at first glance. The main thing is to adhere to a certain algorithm of actions, and then everything will definitely work out

. So:

1. To begin with, it is important to remember on the basis of what documentation ownership was acquired

. All subsequent steps will depend on this moment.

2. If you lose a contract document confirming the purchase or sale of a house, the registration of which occurred before July, it must be sent to the BTI authority

.
It is in the archives of this organization that contains all the information about the early legal registrations of state-issued property
.
To obtain a copy of this document, you only need to have your passport with you
. However, you should not relax here, since later the contract must be reissued in the structure responsible for registering all official documentation.

3. If a purchase and sale agreement is concluded after July 2022, you must immediately contact the registration service office, where an application for issuing a copy of this agreement must be provided.

. The application must also be accompanied by a receipt proving payment of the state fee and a passport. Obtaining a purchase and sale agreement becomes possible if it is not certified by a notary.

4. If the submitted document has been checked and approved by a notary, then in this case it is justified to contact the notarial archive with the presentation of a passport

. After completing all necessary procedures, a contract duplicate is issued.

5. In case of loss of a certificate confirming the right of ownership of a land property, you must go to the registration service, having with you a copy or original of the purchase or sale agreement, which also must first be certified by a notary.

6. It is not recommended to resort to a general power of attorney, which allows relatives to make transactions with real estate on their own behalf.

. It will be sufficient to issue a power of attorney informing the reconstruction of the “house” documentation, in which the executive terms and powers of the trustee must be clearly specified.

List of documents for the house and procedures in case of their loss

1. New sample certificate issued by the Unified State Register, — Rosreestr department. You need to have your passport and a handwritten statement about the loss of the document with you.

2. Certificate for an outdated land plot (issued before 1993) – registration chamber. A document of a new sample is issued on the basis of documents that provide the basis for ownership: a gift agreement, a purchase and sale agreement, a certificate of inheritance, etc.
3. Certificate of ownership and documents confirming ownership (sale and purchase agreement, gift, inheritance, etc.). It is necessary to obtain duplicates of title documents from the city data archive or from the notary who prepared the indicated documents. Based on the documents received, the registration chamber issues a new certificate of land ownership.
4. Social tenancy agreement – ​​Federal Administration. Such an agreement is always drawn up in two copies (for the tenant and the lessor), and therefore there should be no problems in obtaining a duplicate.
5. Additionally
   Here you will find out why you need and where to order a cadastral passport for a real estate property (land plot, buildings, premises).
   Cadastral plan and site passport – Cadastre and Cartography Department. All information about lost documents is stored in authorized bodies, so the owner can easily obtain duplicates. If problems arise with obtaining duplicates, the site may need to be re-surveyed.

If all the documents that confirmed ownership of the plot are lost, and their duplicates are not stored in archives and authorized organizations, the legal owner can be established in court with the help of a good lawyer, testimony and other indirect evidence of the use of the land and the incurrence of expenses for its maintenance .

How to restore lost documents for a land plot: what is needed for this?

Restoring documents for a land plot is greatly simplified if you have at least one of the securities presented below:

- a certificate proving the fact of land transfer of the plot as a result of inheritance;

- a verdict of a judicial authority that has legal force;

2. However, in some cases, Rosreestr may not have the necessary information. In this case, it is necessary to direct local self-government bodies to which the plot of land belongs

. These structures have special committees whose responsibilities include dealing with issues related to land. It is in the archives of the represented committees that all the data on land plots is available.

3. It should be taken into account that obtaining an extract is a paid service, the cost of which can reach 100-300 rubles.

4. A sold application for obtaining the necessary documentation is processed within a five-day period, after which the information will either be provided or denied with an explanation of the reason.

5. It is also worth considering that the documentation received from the BTI authorities is not legal. It can only act as confirmation attached to the main package of documents.

Restoration of the violated right to a land plot (Article 60 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation)

According to the law, restoration of the violated right to a land plot occurs when:

• the territory was arbitrarily seized by a neighbor or other person;
• the court invalidated the act of the authorities that violated the right;
• in other cases provided for by federal legislation.

If there is a proven fact of a violated right to a land plot, it is important to choose the right ways to restore it or suppress actions that entail a violation of rights. In practice, these methods are expressed:

• in the suspension of construction, exploration work, mining and other things, if this violates the rights of the landowner;
• in recognizing acts of government authorities as invalid if they do not comply with the law;
• in applying to the judicial authorities with a claim to recover one’s own real estate from someone else’s possession;
• in suspending the execution of acts of authorities that do not comply with the law;
• in filing another statement of claim aimed at stopping illegal actions.

A violated right can also be restored in another way that makes it possible to establish the position of the person that existed before the violation. But often the procedure is carried out through court. It is necessary to obtain confirmation of the violated rights to the land plot, draw up a statement of claim and send it to the authorized judicial body.
