A gift deed, or deed of gift, is a legal document voluntarily transferring title to real property from one party (the grantor or donor) to another (the grantee or donee). A gift deed typically transfers real property between family or close friends. Gift deeds are also used to donate to a non-profit organization or charity. The deed serves as proof that the transfer is indeed a gift and without consideration (any conditions or form of compensation).

Valid deeds must meet the following requirements: The grantor must intend to make a present gift of the property, the grantor must deliver the property to the grantee, and the grantee must accept the gift. A gift deed must contain language that explicitly states no consideration is expected or required, because any ambiguity or reference to consideration can make the deed contestable in court. A promise to transfer ownership in the future is not a gift, and any deed that does not immediately transfer the interest in the property, or meet any of the aforementioned requirements, can be revoked [1].

A lawful gift deed includes the grantor's full name and marital status, as well as the grantee's full name, marital status, mailing address, and vesting. Vesting describes how the grantee holds title to the property. For Pennsylvania residential property, the primary methods for holding title are tenancy in common, joint tenancy, and tenancy by entirety. A grant of ownership of real estate to two or more unmarried persons is presumed to create a tenancy in common, unless a joint tenancy with right of survivorship is specifically created. In the case of a married couple, a tenancy by entirety is created (68 Pa.C.S. 110).

As with any conveyance of real estate, a gift deed requires a complete legal description of the parcel. If the document includes a newly drafted legal description, contact the county for directions and verify the type of description required with the local Register of Deed's office. Recite the source of title to establish a clear chain of title, and detail any restrictions associated with the property.

In Pennsylvania, a Statement of Value must be attached with the deed, (91 Pa.C.S. 112) as well as an additional Certificate of Residence, (21 Pa.C.S. 625). If applicable, a Conveyance Document Notice of Coal or Surface Support Severance Notice (52 Ps.C.S. 1551), and/or a Bituminous Mine Subsidence and Land Conservation Act Notice (52 Pa.C.S. 1406.14) must be included as well. For questions regarding these notices, contact a lawyer. Property situated in Philadelphia County requires a recording information summary and real estate transfer tax certification [2]. Record the completed deed at the local Recorder of Deed's office.

The IRS implements a Federal Gift Tax on any transfer of property from one individual to another with no consideration, or consideration that is less than the full market value. 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). Even so, donors should consider filing one for many gifts of real property [3].

In Pennsylvania, there is no state gift tax. Transfers of property by gift are exempt from the Pennsylvania property transfer tax (91 Pa.C.S. 193), but are subject to the federal gift tax described above. The grantor is responsible for paying the federal gift tax, and the grantee will be held liable if the grantor fails to do so [1]. Consult a tax specialist with questions.

The recipient of the gift (grantee) is not required to declare the amount of the gift as income, but if the property accrues income after the transaction, the recipient is responsible for paying the requisite state and federal income taxes [4].

I am pleased with this electronic service in making a time sensitive deed transfer since very few options exist currently with the Covid 19 Crisis. This was the only rapid and available option to record the deed transfer and the fee was reasonable. I was able to upload my notarized and executed document and had a record number as well as the official document within 24 hours. It was simple and easy to use. Thank you deeds.com!!

Ordered the Ohio Land Contract forms for Jefferson County. It was an awesome purchase for $28 bucks. Easy and straight forward for someone like me with no real estate background to make my own land contract and save a couple grand hiring an attorney to copy and paste one to me. I'll be buying the same package for every county I invest in!

The download of forms, etc. was easy and the guides that were provided were good, but more information would have been nice as to where to find tax map #, parcel #, and district mentioned in Exemptions from Property Transfer Fees (and Declaration of Consideration or Value. In general, I was quite pleased with your product.

I tried to use the free stuff you find on the internet. You quickly find out that free is rarely ever (never) free. Even worse, the long term cost can be immeasurable. Glad I realized that before I got too far in. Do yourself a favor, spend a few bucks up front to get the right forms.
