Why won't the bank let someone who has already gone through bankruptcy sell an apartment? Is this a rule for everyone, or did this specific bankrupt person fail the check? And a second question: can they sign over a deed of gift to sell this apartment?

How long ago was the bankruptcy?

Real estate transactions made within 3 years before and 3 years after filing for bankruptcy can be challenged.

Anna And can a gift deed be contested?

Anna And a gift deed too. Any transactions involving real estate or other valuable property.

Anna It's generally better not to get involved with bankrupt individuals. There are so many cases where people buy properties, and then the apartments are seized and sold to cover the bankrupt person's debts. They then have to go through court to prove they were honest buyers. But ultimately, the bankrupt person will be ordered to return the money, and where will they get it?

Anna And if the debts were already paid off? Does the bank still not approve the deal in that case?

Anna The bank definitely won't take the risk. What if not all creditors have filed, or lawsuits are still ongoing? And if they paid everything, why bother with bankruptcy in the first place? They could have paid it all off anyway. Basically, if you're the buyer, stay away. All the risks will be entirely on you afterward.

Anna And even if this bankrupt person gifts the apartment being sold to their daughter, and she becomes the new owner, is that still a risk?

I can't help with bankruptcy, but if someone received an apartment as a gift and decides to sell it, they'll have to pay 18% of the apartment's value in taxes.

Anna And if the courts have already ruled, could something come up later? Does that mean there's no way out at all?

Svetlana So maybe not exactly 3 years ago, but less

Anna Other creditors might show up. What's so golden about this apartment that you're clinging to it so tightly? When you formalize a gift deed (even to a relative), you'll still need to pay about 30,000 rubles for the paperwork. Plus, if you sell the gifted apartment in less than 5 years, you'll have to pay a 13% tax. Who's going to pay for all this? The buyer? If the seller wants to cover all these expenses, I'd seriously wonder why they're in such a hurry to sell the apartment and incur such significant costs.

Anna Not gold, just really touched my heart. And then such a bummer.
Indeed, the seller is willing to cover the costs for these 13%.

Anna The bankrupt daughter already put a deposit on her apartment in another neighborhood. Then, we buyers got rejected. Consequently, they can't buy anymore.
