Deed of Gift
What is a Deed of Gift?
A Deed of Gift is a legal document that confirms one person’s intention to give money or assets to another. It involves a Donor (the giver) and a Donee (the recipient). The Deed can be signed before or after the gift is made, and helps prevent future disputes by clearly recording the intention.
Is there anything else I should consider?
Yes. Think about how this gift might impact other family members, future claims on your estate, or relationship property splits. If the gift is part of a wider financial plan, it may be worth getting legal or financial advice to make sure everything aligns.
What do I need to keep in mind when making a Deed of Gift?
Ensure the gift is genuine and not expected to be repaid. Be clear about the amount or asset being gifted, who it's going to, and when. Once signed, the gift is final. Think about how it may affect future family dynamics, legal claims, or your estate.
Why do I need a Deed of Gift?
To make your intentions clear. A Deed confirms the money or asset is a gift—not a loan—so there's no confusion later. It protects both sides if circumstances change, like a breakup, family dispute, or estate challenge.
Who should use Deeds of Gift?
Anyone giving significant money or assets to someone else—especially family members. Common examples include parents helping children buy a home, early inheritance planning, or gifting between partners or siblings.
What do I need to keep in mind when making a Deed of Gift?
Make sure the gift is unconditional and clearly documented. Know that once the Deed is signed, the gift can't be taken back. It’s also important to consider legal and tax implications, and whether the gift could impact future relationship property or estate claims.
