§ 21151 Gift Or Grant Execution

• •If you give or receive land as a gift, you must follow the same rules as when buying or selling land.
• •The gift must be written down, signed properly, and officially recorded.
• •This makes sure everyone knows who owns the land now.

Your grandma wants to give you her house as a gift.

She can't just tell you it's yours. She has to sign papers, like when selling a house, and record it with the government so everyone knows you own it now.
