Document background
The Gift Deed For Property Transfer is a crucial legal instrument in the United Arab Emirates used when an owner wishes to transfer property ownership to another party without receiving payment or consideration. This document is commonly used for family transfers, charitable donations, or corporate restructuring purposes. It must comply with both UAE Civil Code requirements and Islamic Sharia principles regarding gifts (hiba). The deed requires careful drafting to ensure all legal requirements are met, including proper identification of parties, clear property description, explicit gift intention, and necessary declarations. The document must be registered with the relevant Land Department and may require additional approvals depending on the property location and parties involved. Key considerations include property valuation, existing encumbrances, registration fees, and specific emirate-level regulations.
