Article 750

RA 386 · Civil Code of the Philippines

ELI5— what this means for you

Donors cannot give away more than they can afford. The law protects heirs: a donor cannot donate away property to the extent that the legitimate heirs' reserved share (legitime) is impaired.

Official text — RA 386

The donation may comprehend all the present property of the donor, or part thereof, provided he reserves, in full ownership or in usufruct, sufficient means for the support of himself, and of all relatives who, at the time of the acceptance of the donation, are by law entitled to be supported by the donor. Without such reservation, the donation shall be reduced in petition of any person affected. (634a)
