Inheritance law determines who receives ownership or usage rights after a person&#8217;s death, while special rights of residence determine whether and how surviving dependents may continue to live in their previous home. The legal regulations differ depending on the form of ownership, the type of residential property and the personal relationship to the deceased. Anyone who makes clear agreements early on protects relatives and avoids conflicts.   <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-3019fe8e alignfull uagb-is-root-container\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-32585033\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inheritance law regulates who receives a property or right of residence and what rights and obligations are associated with it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-45819ab6\"><picture>\n\t\t<source srcset=\"https:\/\/harlander-partner.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wohnen-und-Erbrecht-352x198.webp\" >\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mr-picture-small\" src=\"https:\/\/harlander-partner.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wohnen-und-Erbrecht.webp\" alt=\"Learn everything about right of residence, forms of ownership and tax aspects in the event of inheritance \u2013 explained clearly and understandably.\" >\n\t<\/picture>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-gesetzliche-grundlagen-und-personliche-stellung\">Legal Foundations and Personal Position<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether surviving dependents remain in the previous apartment is primarily determined by their legal status. Spouses and registered partners enjoy strong protection through the advance legacy and secure the use of the shared apartment. Life partners are in a better position since the inheritance law amendment, but regularly require an explicit arrangement for permanent protection. Without a will, the legal succession applies, which does not always correspond to the lived family realities. Anyone who wants to avoid conflicts should make arrangements early on.    <\/p>\n    <div class=\"mr-quote mrbg clearfix\">\n        <a class=\"mr-quote-person\" href=\"\/ueber-uns\/rechtsanwalt-peter-harlander\/\" title=\"Rechtsanwalt Peter Harlander\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mr-quote-person-img\" src=\"https:\/\/harlander-partner.eu\/wp-content\/themes\/harlander\/design\/ph100.webp\" width=\"100\"\n                 height=\"100\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Rechtsanwalt Peter Harlander\">\n            <span class=\"mr-quote-person-text\">\n            Peter Harlander<br>\n            <span class=\"mr-quote-person-function\">Harlander &amp; Partner Rechtsanw\u00e4lte<\/span>\n        <\/span>\n        <\/a>\n        <span class=\"mr-quote-content\">\u201eWer fr\u00fchzeitig klare Regelungen zu Wohn- und Eigentumsrechten trifft, verhindert oft langwierige Streitigkeiten im Erbfall.\u201c<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pflichtteilsrecht-gezielt-berucksichtigen\">Specifically Consider the Right to a Compulsory Portion<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/harlander-partner.eu\/en\/inheritance-law-estate-planning\/forced-heirship-law\/\">right to a compulsory portion<\/a> can also be reduced in individual cases, for example if there was no personal relationship between the deceased and a child. However, such a reduction must be expressly ordered and justified in the <a href=\"https:\/\/harlander-partner.eu\/en\/inheritance-law-estate-planning\/will\/\">will<\/a>. In addition, donations made during one&#8217;s lifetime can lead to claims for supplementary compulsory portions if they reduce the legal minimum participation of the heirs.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-wohnrecht-im-erbfall\">Right of Residence in the Event of Inheritance<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A right of residence secured in the land register creates reliability because it also applies to purchasers. In practice, it is recommended to clearly regulate the duration, scope and costs so that no interpretation disputes arise in the estate. Anyone who additionally needs a right to use ancillary rooms, parking spaces or garden areas should formulate this explicitly. This ensures that the use remains suitable for everyday use and legally sound.   <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-schenkung-auf-den-todesfall-als-sichere-gestaltung\">Donation upon Death as a Secure Arrangement<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/harlander-partner.eu\/en\/inheritance-law-estate-planning\/gift-in-case-of-death\/\">donation upon death<\/a> offers a particular advantage compared to a <a href=\"https:\/\/harlander-partner.eu\/en\/inheritance-law-estate-planning\/will\/\">will<\/a>: it is contractually binding and cannot be unilaterally revoked. This gives the beneficiary a particularly secure legal position. For this form of transfer to be effective, it must be notarized. In practice, it is often combined with a right of residence, so that the life partner is secured while ownership passes to children or other heirs.   <\/p>\n    <div class=\"mr-quote mrbg clearfix\">\n        <a class=\"mr-quote-person\" href=\"\/en\/about-us\/sebastian-riedlmair\/\" title=\"Attorney Sebastian Riedlmair\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mr-quote-person-img\" src=\"https:\/\/harlander-partner.eu\/wp-content\/themes\/harlander\/design\/sr100.webp\" width=\"100\"\n                 height=\"100\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Attorney Sebastian Riedlmair\">\n            <span class=\"mr-quote-person-text\">\n            Sebastian Riedlmair<br>\n            <span class=\"mr-quote-person-function\">Harlander &amp; Partner Attorneys<\/span>\n        <\/span>\n        <\/a>\n        <span class=\"mr-quote-content\">\u201eEine vertraglich gesicherte Wohnrechtsl\u00f6sung sch\u00fctzt Hinterbliebene und wahrt zugleich die Interessen der \u00fcbrigen Erben.\u201c<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-empfehlenswerte-gestaltungsinhalte\">Recommended Design Content:<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>exact designation of the premises including ancillary areas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>clear duration regulation, e.g. lifelong or limited<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cost regulation: operating costs for the person entitled to reside, major maintenance for the owner<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prohibition of transfer or restriction of co-users<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Securing through land register entry<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-eigentumsformen-und-deren-folgen\">Forms of Ownership and Their Consequences<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The form of ownership largely determines how a property is handled in the event of inheritance. If the property belongs exclusively to the deceased, co-ownership usually arises among several heirs, with all organizational coordination obligations. If, on the other hand, there is an ownership partnership, the deceased&#8217;s share generally passes to the surviving partner. This usually happens against payment of a takeover price. This payment can be reduced in the event of urgent housing needs or existing <a href=\"https:\/\/harlander-partner.eu\/en\/inheritance-law-estate-planning\/forced-heirship-law\/\">compulsory portion entitlement<\/a>. If immediate payment is not possible, the court can grant a deferral, which makes payment in installments with interest possible.     <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an ownership partnership, it can also be contractually stipulated that the automatic transfer of ownership in the event of death is excluded. Such an agreement must be made in writing and notarized by a lawyer or notary. This arrangement is particularly suitable if the share is specifically intended for another person. The <a href=\"https:\/\/harlander-partner.eu\/en\/inheritance-law-estate-planning\/forced-heirship-law\/\">compulsory portion rights<\/a> of close relatives must always be taken into account.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-zentral-zu-beachten\">Central Points to Note:<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sole ownership: no automatic full acquisition by the survivor if there are existing heirs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Takeover price: regularly fifty percent of the market value, reduction to twenty-five percent under strict conditions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Deferral: payment in installments with interest realizable through court approval.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-miet-und-genossenschaftswohnungen\">Rented and Cooperative Apartments<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the case of rented and cooperative apartments, close relatives have a right of entry if they have lived in the same household with the previous main tenant. Life partners require either a joint move-in or several years of cohabitation for the right of entry to take effect. The contract continues in terms of content, and the rent often remains unchanged for spouses, registered partners and life partners. However, whoever enters also assumes obligations, so arrears must be clarified immediately.   <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-unterschiede-bei-mietobjekten\">Differences in Rental Properties<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not all rental relationships are subject to the same rules. For apartments that are not fully subject to the Tenancy Law Act, for secondary residences or buildings with a maximum of two residential units, different provisions often apply. In Viennese municipal buildings, the rent is capped, which makes entry particularly attractive. Here, it is crucial to check the specific legal situation of the rental property in advance.   <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-praxischeck\"><strong>Practical Check:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Quickly check the entry requirements and declare them in due time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Immediately collect rent arrears and decide on a continuation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cooperative can specify who continues the contract if several eligible persons are present.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If close, but not privileged, relatives enter, a rent adjustment may be made.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-besondere-wohnformen\">Special Forms of Housing<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Small garden houses as superstructures follow their own rules because building and land ownership fall apart. The use is based on lease agreements with mandatory deadlines that must be observed quickly in the event of death. Secondary residences in many countries require a real estate transaction authority permit, without which neither land register entry nor completion of the inheritance proceedings is possible.   <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-eintrittsrechte-bei-kleingartenhausern\">Rights of Entry for Small Garden Houses<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the case of small garden houses, entry into existing lease agreements must be reported to the responsible small garden association within two months of the death. Eligible entrants are usually spouses, relatives in a direct line or persons who have contributed significantly to the management in the past five years. Here, too, haste is required, as a missed deadline leads to the loss of the right of use.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-genehmigungspflicht-bei-zweitwohnsitzen\">Approval Requirement for Secondary Residences<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strict real estate transaction regulations apply to secondary residences in almost all federal states. Without approval from the real estate transaction authority, no land register entry can be made, which can delay or block the entire inheritance process. Anyone who inherits such a property should therefore have its eligibility for approval checked at an early stage.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-landwirtschaftliche-sonderregelungen\">Special Agricultural Regulations<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Agricultural properties in Austria are often subject to <a href=\"https:\/\/harlander-partner.eu\/en\/inheritance-law-estate-planning\/right-of-succession-to-a-farm\/\">special inheritance rules<\/a>, which are intended to ensure that the farm is maintained as an economic unit. This means that departing heirs receive only a small severance payment in order to prevent the business from being broken up or overburdened. Special qualification requirements also often apply to farm takeovers.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-steuerliche-und-finanzielle-aspekte\">Tax and Financial Aspects<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every transfer of ownership causes costs. <a href=\"https:\/\/harlander-partner.eu\/en\/inheritance-law-estate-planning\/real-estate-transfer-tax-in-inheritance-law\/\">Real estate transfer tax and registration fees<\/a> must be calculated so that estate planning remains realistic. In certain cases, a reduction in the takeover price is possible; this should be included in the financial planning. Tax benefits, for example for family homes, only take effect if the legal requirements are consistently met. Anyone who acts uncertainly risks losing the benefit and thus avoidable additional burdens.   <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ihre-vorteile-mit-anwaltlicher-unterstutzung\">Your Benefits with Legal Assistance<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Questions about housing and inheritance law are complex because they affect legal, economic and personal interests at the same time. Unclear or missing regulations can lead to conflicts between heirs, <a href=\"https:\/\/harlander-partner.eu\/en\/inheritance-law-estate-planning\/forced-heirship-law\/\">beneficiaries of compulsory portions<\/a> and life partners. Economic aspects such as takeover prices, taxes or compensation payments also pose risks if they are not taken into account at an early stage.
