Types of donations
Donation of real estate
The donation of real estate is an act of great legal and patrimonial significance. Notarial involvement is indispensable in this type of donation in order to guarantee its validity and legal security. Our notaries ensure that the act of donation is voluntary, free of defects or coercion, and that all legal requirements for its effectiveness are met.
Donations with definition
Consisting of a donation of assets and/or rights from parents in favour of their children, in exchange for the waiver of the future legitimate right upon the death of the parents (donors), the legitimate right is the part of the inheritance that by law corresponds to certain forced heirs. These gifts have significant tax advantages and can be a useful strategy for estate succession planning. Notarial intervention is crucial in this type of gift, ensuring that the legal formalities are complied with and that the tax benefits are properly taken advantage of.
Donation of money with reduced taxation
The donation of money can also benefit from reduced taxation in certain circumstances. Our notaries are able to advise you on the options available and guide you in achieving a tax-favourable gift of money. Notarial intervention guarantees the correct formalisation of the donation, avoiding tax and legal problems in the future.
Advantages of notarial intervention in donations
Notarial involvement in the donation process offers a number of significant advantages that guarantee legal certainty and the validity of this generous act. The main advantages are outlined below:
1. Legal validity
. A donation made by notarial intervention is fully legally valid. The notary ensures that all the necessary legal requirements are met for the donation to be effective and binding between the parties involved.
2. Transparency and clarity
. The presence of the notary guarantees the transparency and clarity of the donation process. The notary explains the contents of the deed of gift in detail and ensures that all parties involved fully understand the terms and conditions of the deed.
3. Protection against coercion or pressure
. The notary acts as an impartial witness during the signing of the deed of gift. His presence provides security against possible coercion or undue pressure that could affect the donor’s will.
4. Authenticity of the deed
. The notary attests the deed of gift, which confers authenticity and veracity on the deed. This is particularly relevant in the case of donations of real estate or large sums of money.
5. Confidentiality and professional ethics
. Notaries are bound by strict codes of ethics and confidentiality. All information related to the donation is treated with complete discretion and respect for the privacy of the parties involved.
