Transfer through a gift deed is better when the need to transfer is on an immediate basis, whereas if an individual wants the property to move on to his /her successors only after his/her death, then writing a will may be the best way out.

Also, if the transfer is meant for people otherthan relatives, then writing out a will seems to be better from thefinancial perspective.

Example:

My father wants to give an immovable property to me. Should he give me in the GIFT DEED form or WILL DEED form?

In case of gift, you shall instantly become the owner of the property mentioned in the gift deed which is required to be registered. After registering the gift deed your father he will halt to be its owner instantly and you shall become its owner which shall make you entitled to mortgage the property with Bank to avail loan.

On the off chance that your father executes a will handing down his property to you, you will be the proprietor of the said property simply after the demise of your father and you will need to take grant of probate from the court for getting the said will legitimately approved first. Your title on the said property will come only after the demise of your father and not before that.
