Most of the people have given or received a gift in their life, usually for birthdays, anniversaries or any special occasion. However, if speaking in legal terms a gift or a common gift has its own specific characteristics, which sometimes may sound a bit complex compared to the essence of this tradition.

In order for a gift and for a deliverance of a gift to be legal, the grantor needs to show the intention to give a gift(which he must possess) and the grantee must actually receive it and accept it. If an event fulfills these criteria a gift could be called legally valid. The complete process includes a delivery and an acceptance, which in case of a non-deliverably object (for example a house) has to be carried out as a symbolic delivery, in case of the previous example in form of a key. After this the grantee accepts the gift, as we usually accept gifts the part has the fewest legal risks, however in such cases when the gift is vigorously rejected the gift should be void.
Legally speaking we differentiate two kinds of gifts according to the time of delivery, a gift given during the life of a grantor(inter vivos) or a gift delivered after the death of the grantor according to his or her intentions(donatio mortis causa).
