Bangladesh has proposed amending The Transfer of Property Act, 1882, letting parents, grandparents and spouses retain lifetime use of property even after gifting it. The ‘Transfer of Property (Amendment) Bill, 2026’ was introduced in parliament on 27 August by Law Minister Md Asaduzzaman. Under the change, a donor could continue living in a gifted home until death, with modifications allowed later by mutual consent or court approval.
