Some examples of inter vivos actions and items in property law include: An inter vivos transfer is a property transfer that is made during a transferor's lifetime. Living trusts are trusts created during the lifetime of a settlor and are revocable before that settlor's death (see: revocable living trusts).
A gift, if valid, is a legally enforceable transfer under general contract law. That means, if a gift meets all of the legal elements of a valid gift, then the gift is enforceable and cannot generally be rescinded and revoked.
To make an effective gift inter vivos or causa mortis, the law imposes three requirements: (1) the donor must deliver a deed or object to the donee; (2) the donor must actually intend to make a gift, and (3) the donee must accept (see Figure 36.1 "Gift Requirements").
Once the purchased item has been given to someone, the ownership of the item belongs to the recipient of the gift.
Both types of gifts share three elements which must be met in order for the gift to be legally effective: donative intent (the intention of the donor to give the gift to the donee), the delivery of the gift to the donee, and the acceptance of the gift.
