Overview
A Gift Deed is the safest and surest way to transfer your property during your lifetime. It gives clear title to the donee (the person receiving the gift) without interference from others.
Under the Transfer of Property Act, a gift of immovable property must be made by a registered instrument, signed by the donor and attested by at least two witnesses. The donee must accept it during the donor's lifetime.
