ACT OF DONATION OF MOTOR VEHICLE
To donate a thing or right to another person is to transfer
such thing or right to another person without an exchange or payment. In other
words it is the giving of something to another without receiving anything of
value in return. It is purely gratuitous. A donation is made either between two living persons (known as
a donation inters vivos) or a donation made after death ( known as a donation
mortis causa). A donation inter vivos ( one between living persons) is
completed when the gift of the thing or right is accepted by the Donee (the person
receiving the thing or right).
The Louisiana Department of Motor Vehicle requires that an Act of Donation
accompany all Title Transfers of a motor vehicle by donation. This act is
needed in addition to the title for the motor vehicle.
