Buying property for a child without permission: what will change

Ukraine is preparing changes to the rules for registering real estate for minors. If the law is passed, it will become much easier to buy property for a child without the mandatory permission of the guardianship authorities. At the same time, key restrictions will remain.

What exactly will change

The new rules provide for:

• permission of the guardianship authorities not required when buying property
• the requirement will remain only for:
  • sales
  • exchange
  • alienation of property

In fact, control is retained only where there is a risk of the child losing the property.

How the system works now

Today, the procedure is more complicated:

• Even buying a home for a child requires approval
• the process may be delayed
• parents undergo additional checks

This creates unnecessary bureaucracy even in safe situations.

What does this mean in practice

After the changes:

• transactions will be processed faster
• Reduce the number of documents
• It will be easier to register housing for a child

This is especially true for families who buy property «for the future».

What will remain unchanged

It is important to remember:

• sell or transfer the child's property without the permission of the guardianship you can't
• the state will continue to monitor the observance of children's rights
• all transactions are executed through a notary

Conclusion.

The new rules make life easier for parents, but do not remove protection from children.
Buying - without unnecessary barriers, selling - under control.
