Sir there cannot be conditional gift deed. The father cannot cancel the deed once made.

If the father want to give you property.then it has to be absolute ownership to you

If he want to put condition then he can make a will that will be operative on his dimise. Register the will.

Once a valid gift has been accepted it cannot be cancelled unless it is a conditional gift. A conditional gift is when certain conditions need to be fulfilled before acceptance. On acceptance, the donee gains absolute right in the property depending on the rights set in the gift deed.

Sir the gift deed cannot be conditional the above statements are wrong no such condition can be written in gift deed. The gift deed need to be absolute under the transfer of property act.

Dear Client,

Conditional Gifts Are Incomplete Until Conditions Are Complied With; Such Gift Deeds Can Be Cancelled By The Donor. In your case, possession is accepted and transfer of name. Such deed cannot be cancelled at the instance of donor, until you violate conditions - sell or take loan up to his death -

Neither any case shall has any effect on your ownership after father death.

AND once property transferred in your name and actual possession taken by you, GIFT is complete and cannot be revoked.

1. i fear such a gift may be void

2. a conditional gift deed is valid under Transfer of Property Act but the condition must be the one which does not depend on the 'mere will of the donor'

3. here in your case there is a restriction against you not to sell or take a loan on the property

4. meaning that the donor has the above 2 rights of sale and taking a loan

5. the aforesaid thus comes under the expression 'at the mere will of the donor'

6. think of it like this - say this conditional gift deed is made in your favour with the above 2 restrictions. Now what if the donor sells or takes a loan on the property. What if the donor defaults in that loan and the property is attached and auctioned. What will happen to the gift then? Thus such conditions are at the mere will of the donor which makes the gift deed void and illegal

7. i suggest you incorporate a covenant in the gift deed from donor that even he will not sell or take a loan on this property

Conditional gift deed is valid.

Gift deed can be revoked either through court or by mutual consent of both the parties.

But if such condition is not fulfilled then conditional gift deed stamds revoked or cancelled.

the gift deed cannot be made with any conditions, it may be a settlement deed which can be made with condition, you confirm that.

the conditional settlement deed can be revoked by the donor on the conditions not being fulfilled.

since he has made the provision for lifetime interest on him as a condition, though the property will automatically vest in you from the date of settlement but you can get possession of property legally only after the lifetime of your father, in between he may even cancel the settlement citing some flimsy reasons under the pressure of your step mother.
