Document background
The Deed of Gift Letter is a crucial legal instrument in Pakistan's property transfer system, used when an individual wishes to voluntarily transfer ownership of property or assets to another person without receiving any compensation. This document type is commonly used for family transfers, charitable donations, or estate planning purposes. The deed must satisfy requirements under multiple Pakistani laws, including the Transfer of Property Act 1882 and Islamic law principles of Hiba. A properly executed Deed of Gift Letter needs to include specific details about the donor and recipient, clear property description, explicit gift declarations, and confirmation of possession transfer. The document becomes particularly important in Pakistan's legal context where both civil and Islamic law considerations must be addressed, and proper registration may be required depending on the nature and value of the gifted property.
