When a release deed is used

When co-owners of inherited or joint property agree that one of them gives up their share to another — for example a sister releasing her share in the family land to her brother. Both sign with two witnesses.

Registration: documents about land or a house often have to be registered at the sub-registrar's office, with stamp duty that depends on the State. Ask the sub-registrar's office or a lawyer before you sign.

Stamp paper and signing

Whether this needs stamp paper, and of what value, depends on your State and on the document — ask the stamp vendor, a notary or a lawyer. Tick "Printing on stamp paper?" to leave the space at the top of page 1. This is a draft in plain words: for a large amount or anything you may have to rely on in court, have a lawyer read it first.

Questions people ask

A document by which a co-owner gives up their share in a jointly held or inherited property in favour of another co-owner.
Is a release deed different from a gift deed?
A gift deed transfers property to anyone out of love and affection; a release deed is used between co-owners, where one gives up a share they already hold. Ask a lawyer which fits your case.
