Earlier, Svetlana Razvorotneva, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Construction and Housing and Utilities, spoke about plans to change the procedure for using mother capital in an interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta. Often, families become “hostages” of the situation because, having used the maternity capital, it becomes incredibly difficult for them to sell an apartment, she noted.

For example, they cannot give permission to buy a country house instead of an apartment. There are several options for resolving this situation, Razvorotneva said: cancel the allocation of shares from children when using mother capital, allow sharing of shares with relatives (for example, instead of selling a share in the apartment, allocate a share in the property of the grandmother apartment to the son), the possibility of returning the mother capital to the Pension Fund and then receiving it again.
