Questions answered? Let's get started!
An Alabama gift deed transfers real property from one party to another with no exchange of consideration — no money, no services, nothing of value in return. The transfer happens during the grantor's lifetime, which distinguishes it from a testamentary transfer through a will. Gift deeds are most commonly used to transfer property between family members, to move real estate into a trust, or to make a charitable donation of real property.
Because the absence of consideration is the defining characteristic of a gift deed, the language used in the deed matters more than in most other transfers. A deed that implies consideration was expected — even indirectly — can be challenged and potentially voided.
No-consideration language is essential
The deed must explicitly state that no consideration is expected or required. Any reference to consideration, even nominal language like "for one dollar and other valuable consideration," creates ambiguity that makes the deed contestable. Our forms use language specifically drafted for Alabama gift deeds to eliminate this risk.
What the deed must contain
A lawful Alabama gift deed includes:
- Grantor information — full legal name and marital status
- Grantee information — full legal name, marital status, vesting, and mailing address
- Legal description — a complete description of the property; if the description references a recorded plat, the plat should be attached or the deed should identify the plat book and office where it can be found (Ala. Code § 35-4-74)
- Source of title — a reference to the prior deed or recorded instrument through which the grantor acquired the property, establishing a clear chain of title
- Any restrictions — easements, covenants, or other encumbrances affecting the property
Vesting and the right of survivorship
Vesting describes how the grantee holds title. For Alabama property transferred to two or more people, this is a decision with long-term consequences.
Tenancy in common is the default in Alabama. Each owner holds a separate, divisible interest that can be sold, mortgaged, or passed through their estate independently.
Joint tenancy with right of survivorship means that when one owner dies, their interest passes automatically to the surviving owner — outside of probate. However, in Alabama the right of survivorship is not presumed and must be expressly stated in the deed (Ala. Code § 35-4-7). A deed that simply names two grantees without specifying survivorship creates a tenancy in common by default. If survivorship is the intent, the deed must say so explicitly.
Signatures and witnesses
The grantor must sign and acknowledge the deed in the presence of two credible witnesses. One of the two witnesses may be the notary (Ala. Code § 35-4-65). The grantee's signature is not required on a gift deed.
Recording with the Probate Judge
Like all Alabama real estate instruments, the gift deed must be recorded in the Probate Judge's office in the county where the property is located. Alabama is one of the few states that records deeds through the Probate Judge rather than a county recorder. Contact the Probate Judge's office in the relevant county to confirm accepted forms of payment before recording.
Recording promptly after execution protects the grantee. Under Alabama's recording statutes, a later instrument that is recorded first can take priority over an earlier unrecorded transfer.
County-specific forms included
Each Alabama county has its own recording standards, and the Probate Judge's office can reject documents that don't meet local requirements. Our forms are prepared and validated for each Alabama county. Your download includes the gift deed form, a completed example for reference, a line-by-line guide, and the Alabama supplemental documents required at recording. Select your county from the list to get the forms for your specific jurisdiction.

Bought a quit claim deed form. Came with great instructions that were easy to follow and allowed me to do it over a couple of times until I got it right. Was also cheaper than most other options I found online.

The only problem I had was that it doesn't let you create a file for all documents to go into as one. Mahalo Angie

I could not be happier with the service. Shortly after I uploaded my documents, my package was prepared and invoiced. It was only minutes before the document was recorded with the County I selected and returned to me with their seal for download.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

The documents themselves are fine and the information provided with them is helpful. I find the actual processing of the documents, however, to be difficult particularly once the document has been saved. First, I note that the box for the date only allows entry of the last 2 digits of the year. Unfortunately, my download only allows me to enter one of the 2 digits required. When I delete it repeatedly, it eventually allows both digits to be entered but puts them in extremely small text and in superscrypt. I have not found a solution to this problem and am not sure the deed can even be recorded with this problem. Another problem is that if you try to revise the document after you have saved it the curser goes to the end of the line after each key entry. This means that there basically is no way to efficiently save the document for reworking later since you will have to delete everything you have entered in the text box unless you only need to make a single keystroke change or are willing to replace the curser after each entry. Try that with a long property description! Please note that I am using a Mac to prepare my documents and perhaps this is part of an "incompatibility problem". However, I didn't see a disclaimer regarding Mac use and so would expect the documents to perform correctly. Overall, I give the program a "2 star" rating because I am experiencing significant difficulties in entering dates in the documents even before saving them and because saving your work for later revision appears to be basically unworkable.
Thank you for your feedback Thomas, we appreciate you being specific about the issues you encountered. Adobe and Mac have a fairly long history of issues working together.

The State form I chose was valid and accurate. However, I found the ability to enter information was inadequate and difficult. Converted the form to a Word document and was then able to enter the information I needed to.
Your feedback is valuable to us and helps us improve. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

I was skeptical when I first came upon this website. Not sure why I had such a negative feeling, but after I received the printed deed I felt relieved and completely satisfied. This is a great website for everyone who wouldn't want to retrieve their deed in person and worth the reasonable fee.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

I have an apple phone. I could not fill in the form to pay because apple phones do not have a dash that can be used when the field requires a phone number with a dash. I had to borrow an android phone in which the telephone keypad had a dash that could be used. It was easy to pay using an android phone but impossible to pay using an apple phone. Remove the requirement for dashes to allow apple phones to use this service.
Thank you!
