FAQ
What happens if I try to sell what I inherited without the certificate?
The registry won't record the sale: without the SENIAT certificate, the inherited property is locked. It's the key to the whole transaction.
Do I need the estate tax compliance certificate to sell what I inherited?
Yes: the registry won't record the sale of an inherited property without it.
How much does it cost?
The professional fee, from $120, covers handling with SENIAT until the certificate is issued; inheritance tax, if any, and late-payment fines are separate.
What if I owe back inheritance tax?
We tell you how much and bring it up to date before you sell.
Can you handle the whole sale?
Yes, we gather all the compliance certificates and record the sale.
About this procedure
When a property comes from an inheritance, there's one requirement with no shortcuts: you can't sell it without submitting the approved inheritance tax return and the estate tax compliance certificate issued by SENIAT. This certificate, which today is usually issued on paper or electronically with a QR code depending on the state, proves that the estate declared its assets and is current on inheritance tax. Without that document, the registry won't record the sale, it's that simple. That's why so many families who inherited a house find they can't sell it until they first settle the estate matter with SENIAT, a procedure with its own deadlines, its own formalities and its own tax calculation based on the value of the assets and the degree of kinship. We take care of the entire estate side: we prepare or review the return, calculate the tax, handle the payment and process the estate tax compliance certificate with SENIAT, so the inherited property is free to be sold. We unblock the inheritance so you can finally make use of it.
