A gift deed is a legal document used for the transfer of ownership of a property from one person to another as a gift. It is a voluntary act, and the person who gives the gift is known as the 'donor,' while the person receiving the gift is the 'donee.
Giving an outright gift of real estate involves transferring the deed or title directly to a charity. It quickly relieves the donor of ownership and gives the organization immediate use of the property or the ability to sell it if they choose to.
Donor's Tax: One of the main costs in a Deed of Donation is the donor's tax. Under the current Philippine Tax Code, donations between parents and children are taxed at a flat rate of 6% of the fair market value (FMV) or zonal value of the property, whichever is higher.

This is especially important for large ticket items like cars, or property. An act of donation form that has been properly notarized states the exact item and date of the donation.
