Abstract
The issue of insufficient legal regulation of the procedure for allocating and determining marital shares in the event of the death of one of the spouses is raised. An algorithm is proposed for formalizing the surviving spouse's share, as well as inheriting the deceased spouse’s share in property registered in the surviving spouse’s name. The characteristics of distinguishing between movable and immovable property, and the moment of the emergence of ownership rights to them are discussed. The nuances are described and a list of items that practice considers jointly acquired property is provided. It is concluded that the marital share after the death of one spouse should be allocated to the surviving spouse in both the property registered in their name and in the name of the deceased. In each case, there is a specific procedure that depends on the type of property and the method of its acquisition.
