NOTE: An existing debt, an assumption of debt, or other consideration can affect the federal gift amount and Nevada transfer-tax treatment. The result depends on the debt and transaction terms; obtain tax and title review before selecting an exemption or reporting a value.


ARTICLE VI: FEDERAL GIFT TAX AND BASIS NOTICE

Section 6.1 Federal Gift Tax (26 U.S.C. §§ 2501-2503, 2523, and 6075)

The federal gift tax generally applies to transfers by gift, and the tax is generally paid by the Donor. A U.S. donor may need to file IRS Form 709 even when no tax is payable. Filing triggers include, among others, gifts to a nonspouse above the annual exclusion, gifts of future interests, gift splitting, and certain terminable interests transferred to a spouse. A nonresident who is not a U.S. citizen may instead need Form 709-NA for covered U.S.-situated property.

  • Annual exclusion (gift year 2026): $19,000 per donee for qualifying present-interest gifts.
  • Basic exclusion amount (2026): $15,000,000; it is used in determining the applicable credit against gift and estate tax.
  • Gifts to a non-U.S.-citizen spouse have a separate annual exclusion ($194,000 for 2026).
  • A gift-tax return is generally due by April 15 following the close of the gift year, subject to statutory extensions and the special rule when the donor dies.

Section 6.2 Carryover Basis (IRC 1015)

For income-tax purposes, the Donee generally takes the Donor's adjusted basis under 26 U.S.C. § 1015(a), subject to the statute's fair-market-value rule for determining loss and possible gift-tax basis adjustment. The Donor should provide available basis and improvement records to the Donee.

Each party should consult a qualified tax advisor.


ARTICLE VII: DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE

Section 7.1 Delivery

The Donor intends this deed to be presently effective and delivers it during the Donor's lifetime in a manner that relinquishes the Donor's right to recall or control the instrument. A deed retained for delivery only after death can fail for lack of lifetime delivery. See Allenbach v. Ridenour, 51 Nev. 437, 279 P. 32 (1929).

Section 7.2 Donee's Acceptance

The undersigned Donee acknowledges receipt of the deed and the property interest described in it. This signature is optional evidence of receipt and does not replace legally effective delivery.

ARTICLE X: DECLARATION OF VALUE AND TRANSFER-TAX DECLARATION

Section 10.1 Declaration of Value (NRS 375.060)

A Declaration of Value form prescribed by the Nevada Tax Commission accompanies this deed as required by NRS 375.060. Because this is a gift (no sale), the "value" for Real Property Transfer Tax purposes is the estimated fair market value of the property (NRS 375.010).

Estimated fair market value of property conveyed: $_____________________

Section 10.2 Real Property Transfer Tax Exemption (Gift)

☐ This transfer is EXEMPT from the Real Property Transfer Tax (NRS 375.020) pursuant to NRS 375.090(5) because the Donor is related to the Donee within the first degree of lineal consanguinity or affinity (e.g., parent to child, spouse to spouse). State the relationship on the Declaration of Value: _________________

☐ This transfer is EXEMPT pursuant to NRS 375.090, Subsection _____ (e.g., transfer without consideration between joint tenants/tenants in common, or to/from a trust without consideration with certificate of trust). Reason: _____________________________________________

☐ No exemption applies. Transfer tax is computed on fair market value using the current combined county rate. The Nevada Department of Taxation currently publishes $1.95 per $500 in most counties, $2.05 in Washoe and Churchill Counties, and $2.55 in Clark County. Verify the receiving county's rate immediately before recording.

Value: $_____________________ ÷ $500 = _____ (rounded up) x $____________ [current county rate] = $_____________________

Note: NRS 375.100 requires the county recorder to refuse a deed on which tax is imposed if the tax has not been paid. State the exact exemption subsection and reason on the Declaration of Value; the current state form is LGS-F049 (approved October 6, 2025, version 2026.1).

Important Legal Notes

  1. Declaration of Value: Required for each deed presented for recordation; complete the current Nevada Tax Commission form and state the exact exemption subsection and reason if an exemption is claimed.

  2. Delivery: Intent alone does not replace lifetime delivery. The Donor must relinquish the right to recall or control the deed; a deed retained to take effect only at death can be ineffective. See Allenbach v. Ridenour, 51 Nev. 437, 279 P. 32 (1929).

  3. Community Property: Property acquired after marriage generally is community property unless an exception applies. Both spouses must execute and acknowledge a deed conveying community real property, and one spouse may not gift community property without the other's express or implied consent. See NRS 123.220 and 123.230.

  4. Federal Tax: The basis, filing, exclusion, marital-deduction, and debt rules are transaction-specific. Reverify the current gift-year figures and IRS form instructions before execution.

  5. Legal and Tax Review: Consultation with a Nevada real-property attorney and a qualified tax advisor is recommended before execution or recording.

Real estate documents transfer ownership, define who can use a property, and record agreements between buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants. Deeds, purchase agreements, leases, and easements have to be drafted to meet state recording requirements, and mistakes show up at closing or years later in title disputes. Good real estate paperwork moves transactions forward quickly and avoids the kind of problems that only surface when it is time to sell or refinance.
