Hello

Good Afternoon.

Gift deed is the instrument to bequeath a property as gift without any consideration at free will and on his/her own volition of the testator.

Whereas the Settlement may be or may not be for consideration of money or terms or conditions as the testator may reserve his/her life estate over the property as after his/her death only, the property can be enjoyed by the beneficiary or may be with any other conditions, which the testator may opt.

Thanks for referring an interesting question of law involved in the matter. I had carefully gone into the facts narrated by you in your reference.

Gift deed is executed by the owner of property in favour of any body . In case of immovable property executant has to give vacate possession of the property to the person in whose fasvour gift deed is being executed.
