Frequently asked questions


A gift deed is a legal document used to transfer ownership of property or assets from one person (the donor) to another (the recipient) without any monetary exchange. It is a voluntary transfer of certain existing moveable or immovable property made without consideration but out of love, affection, or generosity.

Gift deeds can be used to transfer any type of property, including real estate, bank accounts, securities, and personal belongings, as long as it is an existing property.

Any legal owner of a property can give a gift for that property. However, minors cannot gift property themselves; a guardian can accept it.
