Gift Deed Lawyers in Chennai
Drafting, stamping and registration guidance for gift deeds of immovable property in Chennai, including family gifts and settlement deeds.
A gift deed transfers property voluntarily and without consideration. LexNova Legal Associates drafts gift and settlement deeds and advises on stamping, registration and the effect on succession.
Because a completed gift is generally difficult to revoke, the terms should be considered carefully before execution.
What is gift deed?
A gift of immovable property must generally be made by a registered instrument and accepted by the donee during the donor's lifetime. Stamp duty depends on the relationship between the parties and current state rates.
