Sample Deed of Donation

This is only a sample DEED OF DONATION format.  It could be subject to modifications to suit the purpose/s of its execution and requirements of the parties.  It is advisable that before an execution of any legal document, one must seek legal advice or assistance from a Lawyer.

Legal Notes:

Donation is an act of liberality whereby a person disposes gratuitously of a thing or right in favor of another, who accepts it.

When a person gives to another a thing or right on account of the latter's merits or of the services rendered by him to the donor, provided they do not constitute a demandable debt, or when the gift imposes upon the donee a burden which is less than the value of the thing given, there is also a donation.

(Article 725-726, Civil Code of the Philippines)
