Dear querist,
Yes they can but it is a tedious process... I hope their grand daughter is your daughter and you are the beneficiary of the property.... for more details contact me through lawrato team...

There is no bar to gift property to a minor duly fulfilling all concerned legal formalities. The Law relating to transfer of property provides for the same.Only natural guardian of the minor should be the custodian of the property till the minor attains adulthood.Once property is legally parted away by a registered deed of gift, the same can't be taken back under normal circumstances.However, for the purpose of legal opinion,I must peruse the deed of gift for which contact lawRato for further instructions.

Yes, they can do so. They just have to simply make a deed of cancellation of the deed of gift. That cancellation deed must be registered with the respective authority. You just have to contact an advocate and do the same

A gift to a minor is always valid since a guardian must have been mentioned thereover. However after the gift is registered, the property belongs to the donee, i.e. minor, hence unless the guardian of the minor who was the appointed guardian of the gift deed, decides the property to further gift or sell to anybody else, the property cannot be trasferred. Once the minor becomes major, the roll of the appointed guardian ceases to have any effect. Then the donee can gift or sell to anybody else whoever she wants. All the best. Regards
