Al Barq Real EstateGift Transfer of Property in Ajman
Gifting property is possible in Ajman — transferring ownership to your son, your wife, or another first-degree relative without a sale. The official path is the same: notarization, then issuance of the Ownership Memorandum in the recipient's name, then registration with the Department of Land & Real Estate Regulation within Ajman Municipality. What sets a gift apart from a sale is the kinship file: official documents proving the relationship, which we prepare with you paper by paper.
On fees, we are direct with you: the fee treatment for a gift differs from the sale registration fee, and we do not publish an unverified number for it. We confirm it with the official entity for your specific case before any commitment. Approval of the gift and its fees rest with the Department; our role is preparation, representation, and a file with no gaps and no surprises.

FAQ
FAQ
Can I gift my property to my son or my wife in Ajman?
Yes. Gifting property to first-degree relatives is possible in Ajman, and it follows the same official path: notarization, issuance of the Ownership Memorandum, then registration with the Department of Land & Real Estate Regulation. The essential condition is proving kinship with official documents; approval of the gift rests with the Department — we accompany you through the procedure, we do not promise the outcome.
How much is the gift transfer fee?
Honestly: the fee treatment for a gift differs from a sale, and we hold no documented number to publish for it. For comparison only, the documented sale registration fee on ajman.ae is a minimum of AED 2,500 or 2% for UAE and GCC nationals, and AED 3,000 or 3% for non-nationals. The gift fee for your case is confirmed with the official entity before your appointment, and put in writing before any commitment.
Which documents prove kinship?
A birth certificate for children, a marriage certificate for spouses, and a family book extract for nationals. Documents issued abroad may need legal translation and attestation — we verify exactly what your case requires with the official entity before the appointment, so your file is not turned back on the day.
Can I gift a mortgaged property?
As a rule the property should be free of the mortgage, or carry written approval from the financing party. The exact procedure and its requirements are confirmed with the official entity for your case — we review your property's status first, then tell you the realistic path before any step.
Is a gift allowed beyond first-degree relatives?
The accepted degrees of kinship and the rules of gifting are decided by the Department of Land & Real Estate Regulation, and we will not answer with an unverified generalization. We review your case and confirm the rules with the official entity before your appointment — and if a gift is not available for your case, we tell you plainly and lay out the alternatives.
