Do you already want to support your children financially? Then donations are an ideal solution. In addition, you avoid high inheritance tax.
But when planning donations, there are necessary points to consider:
- What conditions do I attach to donations so as to retain sufficient control over my assets? For example, one often wishes to use donations to benefit one’s children, but at the same time to avoid an ex-son/daughter-in-law having any claim on the donated asset.
- When making donations, you want to treat your children equally. But in practice this is not always easy. Donations can take place at different times. And it can be that one child is given a different asset than another child (cash, real estate, shares of a company).
