certainly he can execute a gift deed reserving life estate in himself and
vested reminder to his his sons.

He being a proprietor of the firm,can gift to his son some property,but the firm itself cannot give any gift not being the legal entity.

gifting property to himself? very confusing

how come a sole trustee gift himself?

B K Raghavendra Rao (Expert) 31 January 2010
There is no different identity for a sole proprietory concern and the proprietor himself. As such a gift deed to his sons is perfectly alright. But, gifting the property himself is something unheard of atleast in the eyes of law.

At the best your proposition could be summarised as: proprietor wants to make his sons as joint owners of his property along with himself. A gift deed has to be made as suggested by Sri Deekshithulu.
