Regarding gift of property by uncle to nephew
11-Jan-2025 (In Property Law)
My uncle is an NRI he wants to gift us his agricultural land by gift orally. Will it be enough for succession
An oral gift of agricultural land by your NRI uncle is not legally valid for succession. As per Indian law, a valid transfer of immovable property requires a written and registered gift deed under Section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908. The gift deed must clearly state the donor’s intent, be signed by the donor, accepted by the donee, and registered with the Sub-Registrar after payment of applicable stamp duty and registration fees. If your uncle is unable to execute the gift deed in person, he can authorize someone through a properly executed Power of Attorney (PoA).
