Hi,
Currently I am staying in USA and my mother is living in Andhra Pradesh and she wants to settle down the properties between two sons now so that there won't be any disputes later time.
She wants to transfer the ownership and register the property on our names and thinks that gift deed is least expensive and most recommended way of transfer of ownership between blood relation. She can prepare the gift deed and register at local registration office. I came to know that I MUST present at the local registration office to accept the gift deed.
As currently I am outside of India and do not have plans to visit India in near future, I wouldl ike to know Is my presence mandatory to accept the gift deed or can I send my representative who is living in India to local registration office (by sending PA form signed by me) or should i go for general registration by paying regular reigistration fee and use representative. What are my options?
Bottom Line: As we know The acceptance of a Gift by the Donee may be express or implied. Can a representative of donee accept of a gift by doner on behalf of the donee?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
