Elements of Donation

3|P age
 • Donative intent – the donor must have its intent to
donate or give not vitiated with VIMFU

• Capacity of the Donor – the capacity of the donor is an

essential requisite for the donation. As the fundamental
rule of giving. You cannot give more than your financial
capacity. For individual to have a valid capacity to give,
the maximum amount that he can donate is 5% of his
income, while the corporation can donate maximum of
10% of its income. Another capacity to look on is the
capacity to contract of the donor. The donor must not
belong to the following (Art. 1327, Civil Code of the
Philippines):
Unemancipated minors – unemancipated minors do not possess
the capacity that is needed for being a donor. Emancipated
minors are declared by the court, and by virtue of this declaration
emancipated minors can be a donor.
Insane or demented persons – insanity dissolves the capacity of
a person to give intelligent consent, but consent given by the
donor during his lucid interval are valid and binding.
Deaf-mutes who do not know how to write – these persons are
incapable of communicating to the others effectively, therefore
cannot give intelligent consent.

• Valid object – the object of the donation must not be

contrary to law, moral, good customs, public order and
public policy.

• Forms required by law – the law requires certain to form

in order that the donation become enforceable. Under
the statute of fraud the following are the forms of
donation:
o Oral – Oral donation can be a form if the object
of donation is a movable property or personal
property which value do not exceed P5,000.

4|P age
 o Written – written donation can be a form of
donation if the object of donation is a movable
or personal property which value is equal or
exceeds P5,000.
o Public Instrument – when donating immovable
or real properties the document must me
notarized.

• Acceptance – the done must accept the intent of the

donor to have a perfected donation.

delivery of the thing donated.
2. Acceptance may be oral, in writing or tacit.
If value of the movable does not exceed P5,000 the donation may
be oral or in writing, and the acceptance may be oral, in writing
or tacit.
If the value of the movable exceed P5,000 the donation and
acceptance must be in writing, otherwise the donation is void.
Without such writing, the donation would be void, even if there
is simultaneous delivery (art. 748, Civil Code)
Donation of Immovables
1. Donation must be in writing and in public instrument
(notarized).
2. Acceptance may be made in the same deed of donation

 Chapter 2
VOID DONATIONS
Chapter Objectives
At the end of this chapter learners are expected to demonstrate
the following learnings:

• Understand the general rule and exception with regards

to the void donations
• Apply the concept of void donations in practical
simulated donation problems
What are the void Donations?
1. General Rule: Donation between spouses, whether
direct or indirect, during marriage.
Exception: moderate gifts which the spouses may give each other
on the occasion of any family rejoicing. (art. 87, Family Code)
The following are indirect donation to a spouse, therefore void:

• To stepchild who has no compulsory heirs other

than the other spouse at the time of donation;

• To common child who has no compulsory heirs

other than the other spouse at the time of
donation;

• To the parents of other spouse;

• To the other spouse’s adopted child in cases

when, at the time of donation, the only surviving
relatives of the adopted is the adopted spouse,
the illegitimate children of the adopted, and the
surviving spouse of the adopted;

• To common adopted child who has no other

surviving heirs (art. 190, Family Code)

9|P age
Note: the term moderate is relative to the status of life of the
donor.
Illustration: case 1:
Don Manuel de Ayala, a billionaire with net asset of 16 billion,
give a necklace to his wife Amanda amounting to P50,000, during
their wedding anniversary.
Case 2: Miyong, with P32,000 net worth, give his wife Amanda an
earring worth P30,000 on their wedding anniversary.
Question: is the donation valid in both cases?
Answer: the donation in case 1 is valid while the donation in case
2 is void. In case 1 the amount of gift between spouses is
moderate, while in case 2 excessive. Looking at the net worth of
the donor it can be seen that in case 1 the amount of gift is
immaterial compare to donors net worth, while in case 2 the
amount of gift is material enough compared to his net worth.
2. Between persons living together as husband and
wife without a valid marriage (art. 87, Family Code);
A man and a woman who is cohabiting with each other does not
receive a benefit of property relation between spouses, they will
be bound on co-ownership of property, therefore the legal heir
of a man or o woman is not the common-law wife or husband but
the ascendants or descendants of the man or a woman. If they
donate things with each other they are circumventing the
purpose of Family code with regards to property relations.
Illustration: Romeo and Juliet is living with each other outside the
matrimony of marriage. During their stay with each other, they
acquire various properties under co-ownership. One of the
property acquired is their Montero Sports 2019 model. On
Juliet’s birthday, Romeo donated the aforementioned SUV to
Juliet as his birthday gift to Juliet. Is the donation valid?

10 | P a g e
Answer: the donation was invalid, for it will be detrimental to the
legal heir of Romeo and the law does not encourage such affair
outside the matrimony of marriage.
3. Between persons guilty of concubinage or adultery
at the time of donation (art. 739, Civil code)
Concubinage is a crime committed by a married man while
adultery is a crime commited by a married woman. Any persons
convicted by final judgment of the crimes mentioned above are
cannot make a valid donation for the protection of a faithful
husband in case of adultery and faithful wife in case of
concubinage. (The life Assurance Company vs. Ebrado, G.R. L-
44059)
Illustration: Don Simoun de Buenaventura was married to
Claudia de Buenaventura, during his lifetime he is living with his
common-law wife Martina, although Simoun was not legally
separated from his legal wife. Simoun secure a life insurance
from Aguila Insurance corporation having his common-law wife
as the revocable beneficiary. When Simoun died after meeting a
car accident. Martina filed with the insurance company her claim
with regards to the insurance, while Claudia also filed to the said
insurance company her claim. Aguila having a doubt on who has
a better right filed an interpleader case at the court of first
instance in Camarines Sur. Who has a better right with regards to
the life insurance of Simoun?
Answer: Claudia has a better right over the common-law wife of
Simoun. Although the insurance was expressly designated the
common-law wife as the revocable beneficiary, the said
insurance was indirect donation to his common-law wife, which
the law prohibits. The cannot be circumvented.
4. Between persons found guilty of the same criminal
offense, in consideration thereof (art. 739, Civil
Code)
Illustration: Bee One and Bee two kidnapped Cee one, and asks

two realizing the effort of Bee one on their job, decided to donate

Don Ferdinando a wealthy businessman in Tacloban amounting
to P50,000,000. Is the donation valid?

DONORS TAX
Chapter Objectives:
At the end of this chapter learners are expected to demonstrate
the following learnings:

• Understand how to compute Donor’s tax

• Able to distinguish the different tax rates applicable in
donating money or properties.
• Appraise donors taxation in each of the simulated
taxation problem
Nature of Donor’s Tax
-also called gift tax
-imposed on gratuitous transfer of real or personal, tangible or
intangible property.
Purpose:
1. To prevent the circumvention of estate taxation (before
TRAIN Law)
2. To compensate for the loss or decrease of income taxes
and estate taxes when large estate are split.
Note: The donors tax was implemented to prevent circumvention
of the Estate tax which extracts higher tax than the Donors tax.
But after the implementation of TRAIN Law this purpose seems
to come to its end, because both estate tax and donors tax has
the same rate after the allowable deductions.
Requisites:
1. There is gratuitous transfer of property
This means that the donor exercise its right of liberality to give or
transfer money or Property to another person without violence,

32 | P a g e
intimidation, mistake, fraud and undue influence to give certain
money or property.
2. Both the donor and the done are living at the time of the
transfer.
The Donor must be living at the time of donation because if he is
not living at the time of transfer, estate taxation will be in effect
than the donors tax. In case on the part of the donee, if he is not
alive at the time of transfer he cannot accept the said donation,
acceptance is one of the elements of donation.
