Q: Can a property donation be revoked if the property has been sold already to another party
I donated a piece of property to my mother, in exchange for lifetime right of use. It is my understanding that I can revoke the donation if I am denied the right to use the property. She donated the property to a third-party, yet maintained usufruct. She and the new owner of the property denied my right of use. Can I donation to her be revoked and will that in turn dissolve her donation to the third-party?
A: You need to consult with a lawyer to discuss the specifics----which in this case, includes a review of the transfer/donation documents and verifying whether or not they paperwork was recorded in the public record----after this, one should be able to give you some credible information as to your options. Good luck.
