Document background
A Deed of Donation of A Parcel of Land is a crucial document in the UAE legal framework, used when an owner wishes to transfer land ownership without receiving payment or consideration. This document is commonly used in family arrangements, charitable donations, corporate restructuring, and institutional development projects. It must comply with both UAE Civil Code requirements and Islamic law principles regarding gifts (Hiba). The deed requires specific formal elements including clear identification of parties, detailed property description, explicit declaration of donation, and proper registration with relevant authorities. It's particularly important in the UAE context due to strict property registration requirements and the need to comply with both federal and emirate-specific regulations. The document serves as permanent evidence of the transfer and must be executed in accordance with Land Department requirements in the relevant emirate.
