Family ke andar property transfer karne ke do common routes hote hain – Will ya Gift Deed. Difference timing ka hai: Will death ke baad effect me aata hai, gift life me turant interest transfer kar deta hai.
Gift deed tab useful hai jab aap abhi ke abhi clear karna chahte ho ki kaunsa bachcha, spouse, sibling ya relative particular property ka full owner banega. Ye generally irrevocable hota hai once properly executed & registered, isliye decision soch-samajh kar lena hota hai.
Legal requirements: donor competent ho, free consent ho (no undue pressure), donee accept kare, aur document relevant law ke mutabik stamp + registration process se gujre. Free gift bhi tax rules ka subject ho sakta hai, though close relatives ke case me concessions commonly hote hain.
Will se difference ye bhi hai ki gift usually probate disputes avoid karta hai – kyunki ownership life me hi change ho chuki hoti hai. Downside: aap khud future control lose kar sakte ho.
Strategically, kab gift use karna hai aur kab Will, ye family dynamics, age, health, tax planning aur succession goals dekh ke lawyer/CA ke saath decide karna chahiye.
