Yes, the law stipulates that housing inheritance must be notarized.
Neither statutory inheritance nor testamentary inheritance can directly register the change of real estate ownership, and "inheritance right notarization" is required first. The heir carries the household register, house property certificate, death certificate of the deceased and relevant documents issued by the unit or street to the notary department (there is a notary window in the hall of the city's real estate center) for "inheritance notarization". After verification, the heir will get the "inheritance certificate".
