3.5 Gift

赠与(gift)是某人将自愿将它财产出售给另一个人,并不附加任何条件和补偿。(A gift

is a present transfer of property by one person to another without

any consideration or compensation)

要使赠与行为有效,须符合以下三个要点(Three requirements):第一,需要正式移交或音乐会所赠与的财产;第二,需要是赠与人的主观意愿;每三,需要被同意。

There are three requirements for the making of a valid1 gift:

(1) there must be a delivery from the donor2 to the donee; (2)

the donor must possess an intent to make a present gift; and

(3) the donee must accept the gift.

赠与可以分为两类:

生前赠与(Gifts inter3 vivos),

临终赠与(Gifts causa mortis)

所谓生前赠与是指赠与人在其正常生活期间所进行的赠与行为。这种赠与是不可撤销的。而临终赠与是指赠与人在处于生命垂危时所进行的赠与,这种赠与在肯定状况是可以改变的。

Gifts inter vivos-An inter vivos gift is a gift made during

the donor's life when the donor is not under any threat of impeding4

death. An inter vivos gift, once made is irrevocable

Gifts causa mortis- a gift causa mortis is a gift made in contemplation

of immediately approaching death. A gift causa mortis is revoked5

if the donor recovers from the illness that prompted the gift

出货是赠与的有效要点之一。出货可以分为以下三类:

实质出货(Actual physical Delivery)这个好理解。

推定出货Constructive6 delivery)- it is handing over the means of

obtaining possession such as the keys to a car for example.

However when the articles or goods are present and able to then

physical delivery must occur.

象征性出货(Symbolic7 delivery )- handing over something that is symbolic

to the property given such as a writing. Notice that once again

if physical delivery can occur it must occur.

下面是关于出货的几个例子,请读者仔细阅读:

Examples of different types of delivery

1. A finds O's mislaid ring. O say to A it's yours. A keeps

it. O changes her mind. Who has title O or A? A has better right

to the property because the elements are sought. The delivery

aspect is met because A has possession.

2. A finds O's mislaid ring. A returns it to O. O looks at it

and says to A: Its your. O takes it to have it downsized

for A. O is killed. Who has title, O or A? O has better title

because A did not have possession of it. The transfer of the

ring existed before the intent to give was made. A gave the

ring back to O so manual transfer was not made.

3. A finds O's mislaid ring. A returns it to O. O says I promise

to leave it to you when I die. O is killed. Who has title, O

or A. Without a will, future intent does not qualify. It has

to be present intent to kill

4. O gives savings8 bank book to B. (Bank permits book holders9

to withdraw funds)。 O dies before B takes money out. Who has

title to the savings account? B because we have constructive

delivery

5. O gives B check. O dies before B can cash it. Is check good?

Holding- no gift until check paid because donor retains dominion10

and control of funds.

6. O gives A written instrument: I give you my wristwatch. O

reneges. This is valid gift because symbolic delivery is satisfied.

7. O hands A the leash11 to his pit-bull saying Here take

this O walks away. Has title to the pit bull passed to

A.? It is unclear it here takes this was an intent

to give, and if A accepted the gift
