Hi
My ex-husband is in the process of gift-deeding his property in Srirangam to our minor children. He says he has done the deed, however, we were not asked to sign. My questions are:
1. Is the donee not required to sign in the deed? only donors' signatures will do?
2. Is it the same as a sale deed?
Thanks

If it is a self earned property, he can gift it as per his choice, even to a third party.This amounts to complete quitting his right over the property.

Are you a joint owner of the property? If the property is his self acquired property, he can gift it to anyone.

Yes, a man has right to sell, gift or transfer his self acquired property to anyone as per his choice. You have no authority or right to make objections in this regard.

I endorse the opinion and advise of experts, self acquired property can be donated / transferred by the titleholder.
In reply to your query it is clarified that the donee (beneficiary) has to accept the gift, otherwise, it is incomplete and invalid.
In case donee is a minor his/ her guardian will have to accept it.
