What is a deed of gift?

A deed of gift is a legal document that transfers ownership of a property or asset from the donor (the one giving the gift) to the recipient (the one receiving the gift). In Florida, it is used to transfer real estate, such as land or a house, from one person to another as a gift, without any money changing hands. The donor must sign the deed of gift in front of a notary public, who will notarize the deed, and the recipient must also sign the deed of gift in front of the notary. A deed of gift is different than a deed that is used for the transfer of property or assets as a result of a sale or other form of exchange. In a deed of gift, the donor does not expect to receive any type of payment for the property. Instead, the donor is simply making a gift of real estate to the recipient. It is important for both the donor and recipient to understand the terms of the deed of gift. The deed of gift should clearly specify the transfer of property and should include the description of the property being transferred, as well as the signature of both the donor and the recipient. The deed of gift should also be recorded with the county clerk in the county where the property is located. By understanding the purpose of a deed of gift and the process for creating one, individuals in Florida can legally transfer real estate without any financial exchange.
