Donation of Half a property in Portugal
 

My husband and me purchased a house in the regime of Community of Goods. It is his name on deeds. But as it was purchased in Community of Goods my name appears on the document as owning 1/2 of it.

Since purchasing the house we have since changed our regime to Separation of Goods.

My husband wants me to be the sole owner of the property. He wants to donate his half of the property to me.

However we have been told that this cannot be done as given that the property was purchased in the regime of Community of Goods he will always own 50% of the house. Even though now we have changed our regime to Separation of Goods.

Does anyone know if this is correct or have a solution as to how my husband may donate / give me his half of the property?

Thank you.

Welcome to BE. :)

I see you have already reposted the above in the Portugal forum. Hopefully the regulars of that forum will be able to help you.

Good luck.
