Document background
A Deed of Gift of Immovable Property is essential when transferring real estate as a gift in Canada, commonly used in family estate planning, charitable donations, or inter-family transfers. This document type requires careful consideration of both federal and provincial laws, particularly regarding property transfer regulations, tax implications, and registration requirements. It must include specific elements such as clear identification of the parties, detailed property description, explicit gift intention, and proper execution formalities. The deed serves as permanent evidence of the transfer and must be properly registered with the appropriate land registry office. Common situations requiring this document include parents transferring property to children, charitable donations of real estate, or estate planning arrangements. The document must comply with provincial property laws, federal tax regulations, and local registration requirements to ensure a valid transfer of title.
