Donation of an Immovable, Real Property Flashcards

Q
What are the formal requisites for a valid donation of an immovable, real property (such as a house)?
A
For there to be a valid donation, the law requires that:
1) a deed of donation be executed in a public document indicating the details of the property to be donated and conditions for the donations, if any; and
2) that the person receiving the donation expressly manifest his or her conformity and receive the donation in the same deed or in a separate document, which must be executed within the lifetime of the donor.
These formal requirements in the preparation and execution of a deed of donation must be fully observed for there to be an actual valid donation.
