In Vietnam, do parents-in-law have the right to reclaim the house that has been transferred to their daughter-in-law?
Pursuant to Article 457 of the 2015 Civil Code stipulating contracts for gifting of property as follows: Contract for a gift of property means an agreement between parties whereby the giver delivers its property and transfers its ownership rights to the recipient without requiring compensation and the recipient agrees to accept the gift. Pursuant to Article 459 of this Code, gifts of immoveable property as follows: 1. A gift of immoveable property must be recorded in writing and notarized or certified, and must be registered if the law on immoveable property requires registration of ownership. 2. A contract for a gift of immoveable property shall take effect from the time of registration. In the case of immoveable property for which no registration of ownership rights is required, the gift contract shall take effect from the time when the property is delivered. Accordingly, you give the house without conditions and the contract for a give takes effect from the time when the property is delivered. Therefore, you do not have the right to reclaim this house.
