• Conditional Sale Deed

Hi

My spouse had filed a complaint against me in CAW Cell. Matter was settled in Mediation Center vide a MoU. First Motion has already been filed for. Now, as per MoU, i have to transfer my 50% share in a joint property in her name through Gift Deed / Sale Deed / Release Deed or any other document. 

My preference is a Sale Deed, but I have some queries:-

a. Can "Divorce by Mutual Consent" be mentioned as a consideration in Sale Deed?

b. Can the Sale Deed be made conditional vide some recitals? i.e. Sale of 50% share would become valid only after Divorce Decree is granted by the Family Court.

c. Can I restrict the other party from delineating with the property in any manner whatsoever till the Divorce Decree is granted? i.e. no further sale / gift etc. be allowed till Divorce.

d. Also, can there be any other consideration except "Love & Affection" in a Gift Deed?

Thanks and Regards
