Deed of Gift

Deed of Gift

With a gift contract, the donor leaves something free of charge or promises something to the recipient, and the gift or promise is accepted. A donation cannot be made only on the basis of a unilateral legal act, but only on the basis of a bilateral contract , because the legal act of the donor must be accompanied by an identical legal act of the donee, by which he clearly expresses his will to accept the gift.

Donation without the knowledge and against the will of the donor is therefore excluded. The gift contract must be in writing if the subject of the gift is real estate, and in the case of movable property, if the gift is not handed over and taken over. The donor's signature must be officially certified. The requirements of contracts required by the Act on the Real Estate Cadastre as well as by the Act on the Ownership of Apartments and Non-Residential Premises must also be observed in the donation contract.

A donation contract, according to which it is to be fulfilled only after the donor's death, is invalid.
