Deed of gift

13th century Deed of Gift

A deed of gift is a signed legal document that voluntarily and without recompense transfers ownership of real, personal, or intellectual property – such as a gift of materials – from one person or institution to another.[1] It should include any possible conditions restricting access, use, or preservation of the gift, although these are generally discouraged by recipient institutions.[2]
