Donation is defined as an “act of liberality whereby a party enriches another, disposing gratuitously of its property or right in favour of another that accepts it”. Donation shall be made by public deed, under penalty of nullity, and is not perfected (hence revocable) until it is accepted by the donee, in the same deed or by a separate public deed, and acceptance is notified to the donor.
Main reference legislation: article 769 of the Civil Code.
