Gifts of Real Estate in Wisconsin

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).

In order for a gift deed to be valid they 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 Wisconsin residential property, the primary methods for holding title in co-ownership are joint tenancy, tenancy in common, and community property. 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 the right of survivorship is specifically created in the conveyance. Real estate conveyed to spouses vests as community property (Wis. Stat. 700.02 onward; 766.605).

As with any conveyance of real estate, a gift deed requires a complete legal description of the parcel. In Wisconsin, if the legal description references a plat, the plat should be attached to the deed (Wis. Stat. 236.25). Recite the source of title to establish a clear chain of title, and detail any restrictions associated with the property. Record the completed deed, along with a Wisconsin Real Estate Transfer form. If the transfer form has not been completed, an exemption number must be present on the document.
The fee for recording a real estate document in Wisconsin is $30, regardless of the number of pages. The fee for a plat is $50. The current transfer fee rate is $3 per $1000 of value (Wis. Stat 59.43).

The grantor is responsible for paying the Federal Gift Tax. 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 if a gift is valued below $15,000, a federal gift tax return (Form 709) does not need to be filed. However, if the gift is something that could possibly be disputed by the IRS -- such as real property -- a grantor may benefit from filing a Form 709 [2].

In Wisconsin, there is no state gift tax. For questions regarding state taxation laws, consult a tax specialist. Gifts of real property in Wisconsin are, however, subject to the federal gift tax. The grantor is responsible for paying the federal gift tax; however, if the grantor does not pay the gift tax, the grantee will be held liable [1].

With gifts of real property, 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 [3].
