Définitions

anglais

Gift (or donation). The voluntary and gratuitous transfer of any property from one person to another. It may be conditional but, condition apart, is not revocable nor terminable. Acceptance is presumed unless dissent is signified, but a gift may be rejected when the donee becomes aware of it. The title to the subject of gift must be transferred in whatever way is necessary for the kind of property concerned. Gifts may be made inter vivos, or on death, by will or donation mortis causa. (Walker, p. 526)
