Can an 83-year-old grandmother give her apartment to a 59-year-old son?

She wants to do it, but the notary told her that only an inheritance contract can be made, since she is a pensioner.

The notary said incorrectly. The law does not prohibit the conclusion of a gift contract for pensioners.

Also, nothing prohibits concluding an inheritance contract. According to the inheritance contract, one party (acquirer) undertakes to comply with the instructions of the other party (alienator) and in the event of his death acquires the right of ownership of the property of the alienator (Article 1302 of the Civil Code of Ukraine).
