What is acceptance of gift and why is it one of the essential ingredients of gift? When should the acceptance be done?
Ans: Donee is not bound to accept the gift although an express acceptance by the donee is not necessary to complete the gift. It has long been settled that the acceptance of the gift by the donee is to be presumed until his dissent is signified. The use of the words “accepted by or on behalf of the donee” shows that the donee might be a person unable to express acceptance when the gift is to a minor and it may be accepted by the natural guardian on his behalf.
