Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Donative intent is the necessary element required for a gift to be legally valid. Since Ada is giving the gift to Evert, a short-term employee whom she does not know well, there may be doubts whether Ada had the necessary donative intent to gift the Blueberry Farm to Evert, which may make the gift legally invalid.
