Act of Donation of a Movable

Louisiana Act Of Donation Of A Movable Form

The Louisiana act of donation of a movable form is used when someone gives a vehicle or other movable property to another person as a gift. This document records the details of the donation and establishes the new owner for title and registration purposes. It is required when you donate a car, truck, SUV, or any other movable item that will need to be titled in Louisiana.

The form must be completed accurately because the state uses it to confirm that the donation was voluntary, that the donor had legal ownership, and that the donee legally accepted the property. It also protects both parties from future questions about ownership or value.

What this form is used for

You will use the Act of Donation form any time ownership is transferred without payment. Common situations include:

• Gifting a vehicle to a family member
• Donating a vehicle to a friend or relative
• Transferring ownership as part of estate planning
• Handling a no-cost transfer between immediate family members
• Documenting the donation so the donee can title and register the vehicle

Why this form matters

This document includes sworn statements from both the donor and the donee. The donor confirms that they own the property, that there are no liens or mortgages against it, and that the donation is being made voluntarily. The donee confirms acceptance of the donation.

The form also includes required details such as year, make, model, mileage, VIN, and the declared value of the donated vehicle. Missing or incorrect information can delay the title process or raise issues during the registration process.

Information you should have ready

Before you complete this donation form, gather the following:

• Full legal names of the donor and donee
• Make, model, year, and mileage of the vehicle
• VIN as it appears on the vehicle and the title
• The relationship between the donor and donee
• The estimated value of the property being donated
• Any existing title or documents related to the vehicle

Because donations can impact taxes and exemptions, having accurate information reduces the risk of delays or questions at the state level.
