deed of gift

You don't need to translate 'a título gratuito', as a 'donación' (which we had a day or two ago) is by definition free of charge.
Note from asker:
Yes, "gratuito" is redundant here.

neutral AllegroTrans : problem here is how does a contract become a deed? I would be wary

It just means a record of a transaction.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "A "deed of gift" is defined as "a legal agreement to give land or property to someone without charging them any money". There is no stretch between agreement and contract. Thanks, Phil."

gratuitous gift contract or gratuitous donation contract

The phrase "contrato de donación a título gratuito" means that the person who receives the property does not pay anything in exchange for the gift (there is no consideration) nor the donor imposes any conditions.

If the document is an "escritura" you could also translate it as deed of gratuitous gift or deed of gratuitous donation.

contract of voluntary and unconditional gift

Not quite sure what the gratuitous adds, nor what a property prescription doc. is.

Thanks to eVeritas for confirming my unconditional vs. conditional gift vs. trust suspicions
Example sentence:

The existence of consideration distinguishes a contract from a gift. A gift is a voluntary and gratuitous transfer of property from one person to another

Free-of-charge Gift contract


En español, la expresión “a título gratuito” a que en este trámite, el beneficio de una de las partes no está acompañado de ningún sacrificio para la otra.
La parte de la oración “contrato de donación” se refiere más bien a la responsabilidad que asume el al donante; el cual se obliga a transferir gratuitamente el objeto mencionado en dicho contrato a una persona conocida como donatario.
La traducción “Free-of-charge Gift contract” incluye ambas características de la expresión en español.
