It is individual, but the main documents will be:
- Passport (or passport + power of attorney - for a representative);

Mortgage and maternity capital: is there a hole in the law?
Today, in the law on maternity capital, there is not only the “hole in the law” described above. There are several schemes for illegal de-cash of maternity capital. One of them is, for example, the so-called fictitious purchase of housing from relatives or friends, when the transaction is not completed in practice - the money is returned to the owner of the certificate, and the previous owner remains to live in the sold premises. Although all the requirements of the law seem to be met, the housing is registered as the property of the children. While there is such a possibility, it is not a fact that this loophole will not be closed if the number of such cases increases.

How to divide a mortgaged apartment during a divorce from maternity capital
Please note: As noted in the review of judicial practice of the Supreme Court dated June 22, 2020 (paragraph 13), shares of housing purchased with the help of MK can be recognized as equal only based on the amount of payment of state support funds, and not the entire cost of housing as a whole. If the cost of housing significantly exceeds the amount of maternity capital, then an equal distribution of shares may not be established even by a court decision. And the cost of housing, as a rule, always exceeds the MK amount, since the target payment under the state support program is 453,026 rubles as of June 1, 2020, which is clearly not enough to buy an apartment or house not only in a large city, but also in the province. For the Supreme Court's explanation, see the document below.
Terms of payment of maternity capital when buying an apartment: how long does it take for the money to be transferred?
In any case of using a certificate, the issue of the speed of crediting funds to the home seller or the party providing educational services is important.
Let's look at why this is important below.
Now, starting from March 3, 2017, based on Resolution No. 253, we can say that the total period for receiving maternity capital has been reduced by half a month.
The overall picture for parents is changing, because if we talk about a loan, then in two weeks considerable interest is accrued on the loan amount, so it is important to pay part of the loan amount with maternity capital in the shortest possible time.
The total payment period has been reduced to 10 working days; it cannot be shortened further; it is important not to extend it, since there are cases when a positive decision is not made on your decision due to some reasons.
Regardless of which organization parents purchase housing from, it is important to prepare documents for the transaction as quickly as possible.
In order to quickly receive payments you need:
- Contact PF.
- Provide correct payment details.
Reducing the time limit for paying maternity capital is aimed solely at the speed of the purchase and sale transaction. These subtleties must be clarified at the stage of preliminary preparation for the registration of a transaction for the purchase of housing.

Questions for a lawyer

What will happen to maternity capital during bankruptcy?
Personal bankruptcy is a situation that cannot be predicted. Literally every person, and at any moment, may have a worsening financial situation, which will make it impossible to fulfill loan obligations. And the legal way out is to recognize the citizen’s insolvency.
But what will happen to maternity capital funds in bankruptcy?
The Federal Law “On Enforcement Proceedings” strictly determines that maternity capital is not subject to foreclosure. In the event of a parent's bankruptcy, maternity capital will not be withdrawn to pay off debts.
But there is one nuance - maternity capital is completely safe if it is not sold. When funds are spent on improving living conditions, there is a risk of parting with them.
Do they always take away an apartment from a bankrupt? The answer is no, the only housing is protected from foreclosure. Only the following can be sold:
- collateral real estate;
- property not related to the debtor's only residence.
In other words, if you spent maternity capital on major repairs or reconstruction of housing, the purchase of an apartment in which you live, or repaid a loan issued for construction or expansion of space, you don’t have to worry. The court will not take the housing; the debtor can sell it on his own, but the money received must be used to pay off debts.
But if the property on which the certificate was spent is pledged to the bank or is not one of the only ones, then in the event of bankruptcy it will be sold at auction, and the subsidy will not be returned to the Pension Fund.
Since most citizens use maternity capital to pay off a mortgage or as a down payment, they are at risk in the event of bankruptcy. Why? Let's take a closer look.
