The equalization of gains in value attained during marriage
April 8, 2011 | 35,00 EUR | answered by Steffan Schwerin
Does the donation of a house to one's own children remove the value of this house from the final assets of the giving spouse? Date of donation must be no later than 6 months before filing for divorce.
Dear questioner,
I will answer the questions you have asked, taking into account the circumstances described and your input, as follows:
If the relevant spouse is the sole owner of the property, the value would be included in their calculation of the marital property increase.
If a gift is made to a third party, the assets would be reduced by the value of the item.
However, in this case, it seems likely that this is a deliberate gift to minimize assets and reduce the marital property increase.
This gift can be contested by the disadvantaged spouse.
The 6-month period is too short in this case. It would immediately raise suspicions that the gift was made for the reasons mentioned above.
If the donor can refute the accusation and provide good reasons and evidence, the gift cannot be contested.
I must point out that this platform cannot replace detailed and personal legal advice. Its sole purpose is to provide an initial rough assessment of your legal issue based on the information you have provided to a lawyer. The legal advice I provide is based solely on the information you have provided. Adding or omitting relevant information in your description of the facts could lead to a completely different legal assessment.
I hope I have been able to give you an initial overview and that my explanations have been helpful. You are welcome to contact me through the follow-up option on this platform.
Furthermore, I am available for legal representation. I would credit the initial consultation fee in full.
Distance between lawyer and client is generally not a problem. With the help of modern communication tools such as email, post, fax, and telephone, legal representation is also possible.
