Gifting a piece of empty land

Q: In Islamic law, how is a piece of empty land with no house constructed on it gifted?

Is the land register document required to be handed over to the recipient alongwith a verbal statement or just a verbal statement is sufficent?

A: A verbal statement with transfer of complete ownership and control is sufficient.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
