Share of flats must be clear through JDA. Referring the JDA, specific flat shall be gift to daughter. Gift deed will draft in general format except clear mention of flat location and no.

Gift deed will register at Sub registrar.

Hello, 

  1. One needs to know the terms and conditions of the JDA to determine the draft of a Will of the property to daughter. 
  2. If the JDA includes specific details of Flat Numbers that would be in the share of the landlord/father, mention about the same must specifically be made in the Will. 
  3. If the process of developing is still in progress, the details regarding completion and the JDA itself be included in annexure to the Will to avoid any confusion.

Warm greetings!!

First of all you have no right to gift the property as the builder has given you just a power to construct and sale the flat ..

Joint Development Agreement entered is between owner and the developer after which they enter into sharing agreement in which shares will be divided based on the shares owner and developer can sale their respective shares flats to 3rd party!!

However if sale deed is registered in your favour you will have a full right title interest to execute gift deed in favour of your daughter until and unless you have no right and such deed shall stand as void!!

For dratt of gift deed you will be a donor and your daughter will be done and other terms and condition you can approach a local lawyer of your state and draft the deed they will help you out for this orelse we shall send you the draft .

Moreover since you have no right to execute gift deed henceforth draft is not necessary!!

The owner of an immovable property can gift it to a relative or a third person. A gift is considered valid if it is made voluntarily and without consideration. It is also essential for it to be accepted by the donee.

You can consult an advocate to draft a gift deed for you. The same required the signatures of both the parties in the presence of at least two witnesses.

No consent for gift deed from builder is required.

See there is separate document copy of same can be annexed with the gift deed wherein the flat is given in land owner share. Also land owner is legally owner of all flats not allocated to builder.

If the flat which the owner intends to transfer to his daughter by way of registered gift deed has been allotted to him by the builder as the quota of the land owner, then the owner need not obtain the consent of the builder for this act.

No need to take consent of the builder if landowner himself is making the sale.
