What is a Gift Deed?
A Gift Deed is a legal document used when a person voluntarily transfers property to another person without receiving monetary consideration in return. The person making the gift is commonly called the donor, and the person receiving it is called the donee.
For an immovable-property gift, the document normally identifies the donor and donee, describes the property, records the donor's intention to make the gift, and contains the terms and declarations relevant to the transfer. Acceptance by the donee is an important part of a valid gift and should occur in accordance with applicable law.
Gift transactions can arise between family members or other persons, but the legal, stamp-duty, tax and registration consequences can differ depending on the relationship between the parties and the circumstances. The exact transaction should therefore be checked before execution.

Gift Deed Registration FAQs
What is the difference between a Gift Deed and a Sale Deed?
A Sale Deed transfers property for sale consideration. A Gift Deed records a voluntary transfer without sale consideration. Their drafting, statutory charges and tax consequences can therefore differ.
Who are the donor and donee?
The donor is the person making the gift, while the donee is the person receiving it.
Can property be gifted to a family member?
Property can be gifted where the legal requirements for the particular transaction are satisfied. The relationship between donor and donee can also be relevant to applicable statutory and tax treatment.
Does a Gift Deed for immovable property need registration?
A gift of immovable property is subject to formal legal requirements, including registration requirements under applicable law. The particular document should be prepared and registered accordingly.
Is acceptance by the donee necessary?
Acceptance is an important legal element of a gift. The timing and circumstances of acceptance should comply with applicable law.

A completed gift cannot simply be assumed to be freely cancellable. Revocation or cancellation depends on the deed, facts and applicable law. Obtain qualified legal advice before relying on any cancellation option.
