Ukrainians will limit the right to gift property: what cannot be transferred in 2025.
Every Ukrainian can make a gift to another person by entering into a gift agreement, known as 'gift deed'. This right is regulated by legislation that establishes certain restrictions even for relatives, as outlined in Chapter 55 of the Civil Code of Ukraine.
What is the gift agreement and how to enter into it
A gift agreement, or deed of gift, is a procedure whereby one party transfers property to another party free of charge. This agreement must be executed in writing, notarized, and registered in the State Register of Property Rights to Real Estate. Ownership is transferred from the moment of registration of the agreement.
What does it mean to 'rewrite property' to another person
Currently, property can be transferred through a gift agreement or other legally formalized agreements, previously this was done by changing the registration. However, if there is no notarized agreement, written documents may be contested in court.
What property cannot be gifted in 2025
It is impossible to gift property that you do not own or do not have the right to dispose of, as well as property that has been removed from civil circulation. This process means the transfer of property through inheritance, which can be carried out according to a will or by law.
Entering into a gift agreement is the procedure for transferring property from one party to another free of charge. This process must be correctly executed and registered to avoid potential conflicts in the future. It is also important to understand which property objects can be gifted and which cannot be transferred, in order to avoid legal violations.
