What is a deed of gift?

A deed of gift is a document outlining the transfer of legal title of a property from one party to another. In Kansas, it’s used when a person (the grantor) wishes to give a piece of property to another person (the grantee) as a gift. The document includes the description of the property, the legal names of the grantor and grantee, and the signature of the grantor. The deed of gift must be filed with the county clerk’s office, where it’s made part of the public record. This ensures that the grantee has clear title to the property. It also ensures that all future buyers can look up the title information to make sure they have clear title to the property. The deed of gift must be signed by the grantor and two witnesses. The witnesses must be present when the grantor signs the document. They must also sign their names in the presence of the grantor. The witnesses must also sign an affidavit saying they witnessed the signing of the deed of gift and that the grantor was of sound mind and not under duress when the document was signed. Once the deed of gift is filed, the grantee has full ownership of the property and any taxes or debt associated with the property are also transferred to the grantee. The grantor is no longer responsible for the property and does not have any further liability associated with it.
