Assuming that the question is about immovable property, the gift deed had to be registered to pass a valid title. However the unregistered gift deed can be used in evidence to prove a collateral transaction not required by law to be registered, or it can be used by the donee to support his possession. As the previous unregistered gift deed did not pass a valid title to the donee, it can be gifted for the second time, but it will depend upon certain factors, such as who is in the possession of property and for how long?

A notarized deed for a gift of cash or movables is valid. However, a notarized deed for a gift of immovables is invalid because if the gift is not registered then the owner cannot be passed on to the recipient. Gift deeds that are not stamped with stamp duty will not be enforced.
