My uncle has a self-acquired property in Bangalore. He is now planning to execute a gift deed (register a gift deed) in favor of his son, who is taking care of him. My question is, do the two witnesses need to be from Bangalore since the property is located in Bangalore? Can the two witnesses be from a place other than Bangalore, such as Mangalore? Is there any law in Karnataka that requires the witnesses to be from the same place where the property is located? What is the role of the witness in a gift deed? Awaiting your reply. Thank you.
Witnesses for a gift deed in Karnataka do not need to be from the same place as the property. They can be from anywhere, including Mangalore. The role of witnesses is to confirm that the gift deed was executed voluntarily and without coercion. The witnesses' signatures make the deed legally valid.
