Did you know that donations between spouses have a special legal regime?

 

Unlike other types of donations, those made between spouses can be revoked at any time by the donor, as long as the marriage lasts. This special legal rule allows greater flexibility in managing assets within the marital relationship.

Also, the donation is automatically revoked in the event of divorce. All the donor spouse has to do is the registration for the asset to return to his ownership.
