Gift Deed Drafting

Understand the service

What we can help with

Gift Deed Drafting is a paid, time-boxed session with an in-house NOS lawyer to draft a gift deed valid under Indian law — a voluntary transfer of property from a donor to a donee, made purely out of love and affection with no money or other consideration changing hands. You describe the donor, donee, property and gift terms, choose a tier, pick a slot in your own timezone and pay a flat fee. Nothing is billed by the hour, and no lawyer time is committed until payment is captured.

Three tiers, one flat fee each. Simple for a blood-relative donee, a single unencumbered property, clean title and an outright gift; Standard for a gift with conditions or a reserved life interest / right of residence; and Complex for multiple properties, a disputed or encumbered property, a cross-border donor, or a non-relative donee. Your intake produces a recommendation — you can move up freely, or down with a warning.

What you get. The drafted gift deed itself within 5 business days of the session — the donor and donee, your relationship, the love-and-affection recital, the property schedule, acceptance, and any reservation, condition or valid revocation clause — plus an execution & registration guide covering the mandatory two-witness requirement and the stamp-duty and registration steps for your property's state, including where a blood relationship can reduce the duty payable. You also get 30 days to ask the same lawyer follow-up questions as you get ready to execute. If you later want the deed registered as a separate case, your session fee is credited against that case.

What it isn't. This is one drafting session, not the registration itself — a gift of immovable property is only legally effective once registered, and registration is a separate step you (or a follow-on case) complete with the sub-registrar, using the guide we give you. We also don't represent you before the sub-registrar or in any dispute over the gift — those are separate services. If you're under 18, if the donee hasn't accepted the gift, or if money is actually changing hands (making this a sale, not a gift), we'll say so and point you to the right place, refunding you in full.

How it works on the ground

The government process is scattered across portals, offices and paperwork. NOS turns it into one guided flow.

What we handle

How it works

1. 01
   Step 1

   Tell us about the donor, donee & property

   Donor and donee details, your relationship, the property being gifted, and your gift terms — a short intake, about five minutes.

2. 02
   Step 2

   We screen the matter

   A conflict-of-interest check runs before anything is booked. You'll also confirm you're 18 or older, gifting freely, and that the donee has accepted the gift — acceptance during your lifetime is essential to a valid gift.

3. 03
   Step 3

   Choose your tier & slot

   Your answers produce a complexity score and a recommended tier. Multiple properties, a disputed or encumbered property, a cross-border donor, or a non-relative donee routes you to a senior lawyer. Then pick a slot in your own timezone with a lawyer who speaks your language.

4. 04
   Step 4

   Pay — and your lawyer is assigned

   Sessions are pay-first at a flat fee for the tier. The slot is held and one lawyer becomes the owner of your matter only once payment is captured.

5. 05
   Step 5

   Your session

   The lawyer walks through the donor, donee, property and gift terms, and drafts your gift deed based on the conversation — by video, voice, or WhatsApp voice if the connection is poor.

6. 06
   Step 6

   Your drafted deed & execution guide

   Delivered

   Within 5 business days of the session you receive the drafted gift deed itself, plus an execution & registration guide covering the mandatory two-witness signing and registration steps — and 30 days to ask the same lawyer follow-up questions as you finalise it.
