The Russians explained the difference between gift and will

Lawyer Vasily Dorodnov in an interview with URA.RU explained the difference between a will and a donation.

The main difference between the will and the gift interlocutor of the publication called the fact that a person remains the owner of the property until the very end, and it can be rewritten at any time, whereas in the case of gift property immediately passes to another person, and change your mind will not work.

As Dorodnov noted, there is also a mandatory share, and it is worth considering that even if everything was bequeathed to one person, the law protects disabled children, spouse, parents and dependents who will receive at least half of what they would be owed by law. This restriction applies only to the will - with a donation it is not, said the speaker.

The expert argues that the will should be chosen if it is necessary to maintain control and there is no confidence in the heirs, and the gift - if there is a willingness to give the property now, and the recipient is a close relative. The lawyer recommended in any case to consult with a notary before a major transaction, since the errors are almost impossible to correct.
