What documents do we require while registering a gift deed?
Many states have “statutory forms” of deeds, and if one word is wrong it cannot be recorded at the registry. The registry may have a blank form for you to use. Around here it is, “For love and affection … A grants to B and her heirs and assigns forever… the following described premises…”, with a separate statement that the recording fees are calculated as a non-contractual transfer, i.e., 40 bucks rather than 15 thousandths of the property sale price. Note also, as pointed out by someone else, you may need legal advice on how to make this deed legally effective (regardless of what it says or if it is recorded), to provide you with possible alternatives (joint tenants, life estate, etc), tax and estate planning implications, and maybe a CPA to explain the tax issues.
