In the United States, in most states, to make a gift you have to have the intent to make the gift; a delivery of the item; and a relinquishment of all elements of ownership. If it is real property, simply execute a deed giving the spouse the interest you want to gift. The deed should recite that it is a gift as opposed to a sale and that there is no or just a nominal consideration for the transfer. In the case of a house, the person gifting the property does not have to move out as long as it is understood that remaining there is solely because the other spouse says it is alright. If it is personal property of a tangible nature, there must also be donative intent, delivery and relinquishment of ownership. Delivery is done by simply handing the item over. If the property is something like stocks, bonds or securities, again the three elements must be present. Delivery is usually done by changing the name on the account or security or by transferring it as a stock certificate is transferred.
