This article examines a range of issues related to determining the legal status of real estate remaining after the liquidation of a legal entity in the absence of founders (participants) or their refusal to receive such property. The author analyzes the current mechanism for transferring ownership of ownerless real estate to public entities, as provided for in Article 225 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, and identifies its systemic shortcomings. Based on an analysis of recent judicial practice from 2024-2025 and academic publications, problematic aspects such as the "legal vacuum" in property maintenance, the fate of encumbrances, and conflicts with bankruptcy legislation are examined. In conclusion, specific measures are proposed to improve legislation aimed at increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of this procedure.
