Questions answered? Let's get started!
Gift deeds convey title to real property from one party to another with no exchange of consideration, monetary or otherwise. Often used to transfer property between family members or to gift property as a charitable act or donation, these conveyances occur during the grantor's lifetime. Gift deeds must contain language that explicitly states that no consideration is expected or required. Ambiguous language, or references to any type of consideration, can make the gift deed contestable in court.
A lawful gift deed includes the grantor's full name and marital status, as well as the grantee's full name, marital status, vesting information, and mailing address. Vesting describes how the grantee holds title to the property. Generally, real property is owned in either sole ownership or co-ownership. For Kansas residential property, the primary methods for holding title are tenancy in common and joint tenancy. An estate conveyed to two or more persons is considered a tenancy in common, unless a joint tenancy is clearly expressed (K.S.A. 58-501).
As with any conveyance of realty, a gift deed requires a complete legal description of the parcel. Recite the prior deed reference to maintain a clear chain of title, and detail any restrictions associated with the property. The deed must be signed by the grantor and acknowledged by an individual authorized to take acknowledgements. All signatures must be original.
Record the completed gift deed with the Register of Deeds in the county where the subject property is located. Contact the same office to confirm recording fees and accepted forms of payment. In Kansas, conveyances of real property typically require a Real Estate Sales Validation Questionnaire, unless the conveyance is exempt. Because there is no exchange of consideration when real property is gifted from one party to another, gift deeds are exempt from this requirement under K.S.A. 79-1437e(4).
With gifts of real property, the recipient of the gift (grantee or donee) is not required to declare the amount of the gift as income, but if the property accrues income after the transaction, the grantee is responsible for paying the requisite state and federal income tax [1].
In Kansas, there is no state gift tax, but gifts of real property are subject to the federal gift tax. The person or entity making the gift (grantor or donor) is responsible for paying the federal gift tax; however, if the donor does not pay the gift tax, the donee (grantee) will be held liable [1]. For questions regarding state and federal tax regulations, consult a tax specialist.
In accordance with federal law, individuals are permitted an annual exclusion of $15,000 on gifts. This means that gifts valued below $15,000 do not require a federal gift tax return (Form 709). However, if the gift's value could possibly be disputed by the IRS, a donor may benefit from filing a Form 709 [2].

Whomever "KCH" is, that person was of great help. It took me several tries due my inexperience with ADOBE SCAN, but that certainly is no fault of yours!! KVH was very patient with me, and in fact resolved the things I was doing wrong for me, without my even requesting the assistance.
Thank you!

The papers allowed me to get done what I needed. But for the price I would expect a spell check. There were spelling errors when there should not have been any. Please proof read

The document I purchased (QuitClaim Deed) had detailed directions explaining how to complete the form. This made it easy to complete without any doubt that it was completed incorrectly (which was my fear). I also used the E-File service and it was processed very quickly without any issues. Thank you for making this process simple! I will definitely use this service again.
