Gift Deed for a new property

Hi,

I want to buy a flat in a residential complex.

The owner (Mrs. A) is the owner of the land and this is the first sale.

Problem is the person doing all the talks for sale is the grandson (Mr. B) of Mrs. A. The grandmother is very old and she can barely walk.

So, Mr. B wants to get gift deed from the grandmother and then go on agreement with his own name.

Plz Suggest me, is this the right thing (getting gift deed) to do?

Thanks,

Abhinav

It is there choice what they should do. Mrs can gift the property to B and then B can sell the flat to you or Mrs. A can directly sell the flat to you.

Assure yourself that there is nothing hanky panky on the part of the transaction, if the old person cannot come to the registration office, you can request the registrar for private home visit so that he can register the property onto you from the original owner further this also eliminates the extra cost of gift deed to the vendor.
