Does a deed of gift avoid probate in Virginia?

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY: All deeds recorded in the City of Norfolk MUST comply with the new provisions of Virginia Code Section 17.1-223. All deeds must be prepared by the owner of the property or by an attorney licensed to practice in Virginia.

Do you pay taxes on a deed of gift?

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) does not classify a gift received as income, so when you receive the house, you will not pay taxes on it.
