if your husband has gifted property to you by registered gift deed you become absolute owner of said house . husband cannot cancel the gift deed as property vests in you

State ur query clearly.

Dear Querist,


Any condition in a gift deed, that gives absolute power to donor (person gifting in your case husband) to revoke or cancel the gift unilaterally at his desire - is void though the gift takes effect. However if the revocation is dependant on a contingency other than this it may take effect - the exact terms of gift deed are of importance here.

Feel free to talk !

Gift once accept by the donee cannot be cancelled by the donor. So, the question of cancellation of gift deed cannot arise.
Deepak Nair (Expert) 14 May 2012
The donor cannot cancel the gift deed unless it is conditional. Here, you have become the absolute owner of the property when you accepted the gift deed and you are the true owner of the property as of now.

I am in full agreement with the advise of experts.

Gift once accepted, is absolute and cannot be revoked.
