I have received a large sum of money as a gift from my family recently, a closed investment. My marriage is very unstable. If I divorce will my husband be entitled to some of it ? I married three years ago.
By: דיאנה שאלתיאל•Published on: 12 May, 2022Property received as a gift is an exception to the general rule applying to couples marrying from 1974 onwards under which property acquired during the course of a marriage is jointly owned between the spouses, to be balanced out between them upon divorce .
If the money remains invested in the recipient’s name only there should be no problems. However, if later on something is purchased with the money the situation could be different.
