The Deed of Gift of Immovable Property is a crucial legal instrument in Nigerian property law used when an owner wishes to transfer real property to another party without receiving payment. This document is commonly used in family transfers, charitable donations, or estate planning situations. It must comply with both federal and state legislation, including the Land Use Act 1978, Property and Conveyancing Law, and relevant state property laws. The deed requires careful drafting to include proper property descriptions, clear transfer intentions, and necessary warranties. It's particularly important in Nigerian jurisdiction where land matters are governed by a complex interaction of statutory, customary, and Islamic law. The document must be properly executed, stamped, and registered, and may require additional approvals such as the Governor's consent for certain land transfers.
