A Deed of Gift of Shares is commonly used in the United Arab Emirates for facilitating share transfers within family businesses, implementing succession planning, or restructuring corporate ownership without monetary consideration. This document type is particularly relevant when shareholders wish to transfer their shares gratuitously, often in family business contexts or for tax planning purposes. The deed must comply with UAE Federal Law No. 32 of 2021 (Companies Law), the UAE Civil Code, and where applicable, free zone regulations. It typically includes detailed information about the shares being transferred, warranties from the donor, and any required corporate or regulatory approvals. The document's formality as a deed provides additional legal certainty and helps ensure the transfer's enforceability under UAE law. It's essential to consider both civil law requirements for gifts (Hiba) and corporate law requirements for share transfers when preparing and executing this document.
