What is a Deed of Gift for an apartment?

According to the Civil Code of Ukraine, a Deed of Gift means the transfer of title from one person to another without compensation. The procedure is not a purchase and sale transaction, the apartment is provided free of charge. A donee receives all property rights, becomes the sole owner, unless otherwise specified in an agreement.

In this situation, a donor does not expect anything from the second person in return. It is impossible under a Deed of Gift to oblige a person to perform any actions in your favour. Donation does not imply property or non-property obligations on the part of a donee.

In conformity with the law, you can only give property that belongs to a citizen. You can’t donate real estate that you have rented. Donation of property is to be accompanied by an agreement. To execute a Deed of Gift for an apartment in Kyiv is possible only at a notary’s office.

Statistically, donating an apartment and other property is a common procedure that Ukrainians use. For official registration, the citizens apply to both public and private notary offices.


How to execute a Deed of Gift for an apartment in Kyiv?

First, let’s see what’s the difference between donation and buying and selling an apartment:

  • Property is donated for free. If the real estate is purchased and sold, a buyer acquires an object at a set price, so this scheme is impossible in the case of donation.
  • A donor can annul an agreement. The law permits such a procedure if a donee deceived, blackmailed, committed a crime against a donor or his/her relatives. In the case of a sale and purchase agreement, there are fewer grounds for cancelling a transaction.
  • A donor may apply to the court to terminate an agreement within 1 year. If the property was sold, this period is extended to 3 years.
  • If an apartment was donated to one of the spouses in the marriage, such property is not considered common in the event of a divorce. If an apartment was purchased, the housing will be considered joint property of the spouses.
  • A person can donate his/her apartment lot without notifying other owners. However, it is impossible to sell property without written notice.
  • You cannot donate an apartment belonging to a minor, but you can sell it.
