Property Gifting in Dubai
Property Gifting in Dubai | Gifting Property to Family
Property gifting, or donation or property “Hiba” in Arabic, is the voluntary transfer of real estate to family members or your company without payment. The government fees for property gifting to family members are significantly lower than fees for selling the property. For example, the transfer fee for gifting property in Dubai is 0.125%, while a property sale-purchase transfer incurs a fee of 4%.
Under current regulations, you can gift your property to your first-degree family members, including children, parents, and spouses. Additionally, you can transfer property as a gift between individuals and their companies.
While property gifting may seem simple on the surface, it is a complex process involving several steps. At POA.AE, we offer complete guidance and support for property gifting in Dubai, making the process hassle-free for you.

Documents Required for Property Gifting in Dubai
When preparing for property gifting in Dubai, it’s essential to gather the necessary documentation tailored to the recipient and property type. Here’s what you’ll typically need:
- Clear Title Deed: This serves as proof of ownership and verifies that the property belongs to you. Note that off-plan units cannot be gifted.
- Proof of Relationship: Provide evidence of a “first-degree relationship” between the donor and the beneficiary. This could include:
- Birth Certificate for child-parent relationships.
- Marriage Certificate for husband-wife relationships.
- Constitutional documents (e.g. trade license, certificate of incorporation, share certificate, incumbency certificate, Memorandum and Articles of Association, etc.) for the company or a legal entity. Companies would also be required to establish the ultimate owners and the first-degree relationship.
These documents help establish the legal framework for the gift transfer and ensure compliance with regulations set forth by Dubai authorities. Additionally, depending on the specifics of the property and parties involved, further documentation such as constitutional documents for entities like companies may be required.
