Thinking of transferring property to your child?
This decision may be more complex than it seems.
Many families approach this question as a simple choice: gift or sell.
In practice, the answer depends on several factors, including tax implications, family structure, applicable succession law and the potential for future disputes.
A gift may reflect the intention to transfer without payment.
A sale may offer more legal protection, but only if it is genuine, properly documented and supported by a real transaction.
In international families, the analysis becomes even more complex.
The law applicable to succession is not always the law of the country where the property is located, and this may affect how the transfer is assessed in the future.
For this reason, decisions of this nature should always be assessed carefully, taking into account the specific circumstances of each case.
If you are considering transferring property to your children, it is important to understand the legal and practical implications before moving forward.
