Control of the activities of the trustee of the hereditary property as a management function

The article presents the issue of granting property rights as trust management of hereditary property. Despite amendments to the regulation on trust management of hereditary property and the introduction of a new institution, the inheritance fund, from September 1, 2018, Russian law does not have a fullfledged mechanism for the implementation of the control functions of a notary. This situation is exacerbated due to the fact of abuse by the notary of the right, lack of a mechanism for holding an official accountable. The article proposes a solution to this issue by developing a mechanism for the notary to exercise control functions. It also seems possible that the control by a notary of the activities of the trustee should include, in particular, an analysis of the financial statements. In this regard, the notary is required to have knowledge in the field of financial accounting, or to attract relevant specialists.
