gift inter vivos

Read a random definition: perfect equity

A quick definition of gift inter vivos:

A gift is when someone gives something to another person without expecting anything in return. It can be a thing like a toy or money. There are different types of gifts, like a gift given while the person is alive (inter vivos gift) or a gift given in a will (testamentary gift). Some gifts are given to help others, like a charitable gift to a nonprofit organization. A completed gift is when the giver no longer has control over the thing they gave. A split gift is when two people share the gift. A gift can also be given in anticipation of the giver's death (gift causa mortis).

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A gift inter vivos is a voluntary transfer of property from one person to another without compensation during the donor's lifetime. It is a gift of personal property that is delivered to the donee with the intention of irrevocably surrendering control over the property.

Examples: An example of a gift inter vivos is when a father gives his son a car as a birthday present. Another example is when a grandmother gives her granddaughter a piece of jewelry as a graduation gift.

Explanation: In both examples, the donor voluntarily transfers the property (car and jewelry) to the donee without receiving any compensation. The gift is made during the donor's lifetime and is delivered to the donee with the intention of irrevocably surrendering control over the property. Once the gift is made, the donor cannot take back the property. Therefore, it is an inter vivos gift.

Tell us what's important to you
PURRR and this is gonna sound silly but reading helps with reading comp (bear with me) ,,, if you have time, try to start incorporating reading a few chapters of a book that forces you to comprehend and challenge what you're reading (philosphy, etc.)

Yeahhhh... I will say that whole VIEWSTAMP thing is pretty grounding tho when you're completely at a loss.
felt like those people that are like "depressed? just drink water" when i said bad rc? just read <3

I got better at RC when I slowed down my reading intentionally. I think it was more mental than anything because I think anxiety would get in the way of comprehension

It's more so a reach for 100% and maybe you
I just want to make enough money to support my family and give my wife the opportunity to take time off work to raise kids (if that's what she wants, I just don't want her to feel pressure to work if she'd rather stay home). It seems like going to a strong regional school and doing well all but guarantees that life
you could post a meme and someone is bound to comment 'stats'

tbf I think it's the "doing well" that worries people; it's easy to imagine yourself doing well, but the applicant pool for law school kind of self-selects a lot of people who do well. so graduating in the top x% of your strong regional school's class is more of a crapshoot than it might seem

@ParallelAgreeableOrangutan: Yes, but, not to be cocky (especialy given my GPA hahaha), the LSAT seems to be a pretty decent predictor of law school performance. If you have a higher LSAT but choose to attend a regional school with a more average median LSAT you're probably going to do well if you try hard
