How to re-register an apartment for your wife: where to go
Lawyers of Free Legal Aid commented that in order to re-register an apartment in the name of his wife, the owner of the property needs to draw up a donation agreement, that is, a deed of gift. This scheme is used between close relatives and allows you to avoid paying tax on personal income, as well as tax on property transferred as a gift.

Deed of Gift — this is an agreement under which one party (donor) transfers or undertakes to transfer in the future to the other party (donee) property (gift) free of charge (part one of Article 717 of the Civil Code of Ukraine).
In accordance with Article 182 of the Civil Code of Ukraine, an agreement for the donation of an immovable property is concluded in writing and is subject to notarization. To do this, you must contact a public or private notary.
What documents are needed to re-register an apartment as your wife's name
To draw up a deed of gift for an apartment, the presence of two parties is required. To re-register an apartment in the name of your wife at a notary, you need to draw up a donation agreement for the apartment between the donor and the recipient.
If the object of the gift agreement is the common property of the spouses, then there must be a notarized written consent of the second spouse (divorce does not terminate the right of common joint ownership of property acquired during the marriage).
It is necessary to provide original documents for the apartment (title documents, technical passport for housing).
You will also need:
- passports of both parties;
- identification number of both parties;
- documents confirming family relationships (marriage certificate). If housing was purchased during marriage, then you must provide a notarized consent to donate real estate.
Please note! The exact list of documents depends on each individual case. This can be found out from the notary during the consultation.
After drawing up the contract, the documents are submitted to the state registration authority for real estate rights to carry out procedures for re-registration of ownership.
After all the necessary procedures have been completed, a new technical passport for the apartment will be issued, where the wife will be indicated as a co-owner of the apartment.
