Pursuant to Article 95 of the Land Code of the Republic of Armenia, in case of death of a citizen the agricultural land belonging to him under property right will be inherited according to the Civil Code. The agricultural land cannot be separated among the heirs, but provided to the heir that obligates himself to implementation of agricultural activities.
In case of a dispute, the issue will be solved through judicial procedures.
Heirs refusing to implement agricultural activities have the right to be reimbursed in accordance to their part of land inherited.
The heirs can establish a legal entity by uniting their inherited parts of land.
If one of the heirs refuses to implement agricultural activities, he must transfer his rights on land to the heirs implementing the activity.
In cases when the heirs and the testament is missing, as well as in case of refutation of the heredity, the land will be transferred to the community.
Due to the law or the testament, and according to the 1st point of this article, the right on land tenancy, which deadline has not yet expired, will be procedurally transferred to the heir in charge of agricultural activities, if no other provisions are envisaged by the tenancy contract.
The heir will rename the land-use contract; the State registration of the land will take place afterwards.
In cases, when the land is inherited to an underage citizen, his official care takers can provide the land for tenancy till the citizen becomes of a full legal age.
