Gift Deed

About Our Service

What is a Gift Deed?

A Gift Deed is a legal document that allows a person (the donor) to voluntarily transfer ownership of movable or immovable property to another person (the donee) without any exchange of money. It is executed out of love and affection and must be registered under Section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908 to be legally valid.

A properly drafted Gift Deed clearly mentions details of the donor, donee, relationship, property description, and acceptance of the gift. Once registered, it acts as solid legal proof of ownership transfer and protects both parties from future disputes.

Who Can Execute a Gift Deed?

Any individual who is the rightful owner of a property and is of sound mind can execute a Gift Deed. The person must be legally competent to contract under Indian law.

A Gift Deed can be executed by:

  • Individuals gifting property, cash, or valuable assets.

  • Parents transferring property to children or relatives.

  • Siblings, spouses, or other family members transferring property out of love or affection.

  • Donors gifting property to charitable trusts or religious institutions.

The recipient (donee) must also accept the gift during the donor’s lifetime for it to be valid.
