What are the legal implications of a direct gift from a maternal aunt? Could there be two gift deeds – one from the maternal aunt to the mother and another from the mother to the individual? If so, can both deeds be made on the same day? Are there any other options for gifting property in this situation?

Under Indian law, a direct gift from a maternal aunt is valid and doesn’t require any specific legal formalities. Two gift deeds can be executed, one from the aunt to the mother and another from the mother to the individual, even on the same day. Alternatively, the aunt can directly gift the property to the individual without involving the mother.
