Below is a working sample of a gift agreement for a 1/2 share in an apartment after the area changed as a result of construction. If the apartment is jointly owned by spouses, a notarized consent from the other spouse should be checked before signing. After notarization, title to the share must be registered in the State Register of Real Rights to Immovable Property.
The text keeps the practical points on title documents, the technical passport, absence of encumbrances, value, acceptance of the gift, costs, and registration of title. The area and layout of the apartment should be checked against the current documents on the date of signing.
