Abstract
The ability of parties to donate is studied, and particular reference is made
to the Spanish and Colombian legislations. With regard to the European
legislation, and although the Draft Common Frame of Reference (DCFR)
has dedicated the title H of Book IV to the “contracts for the donation
of goods”, it is argued that it does noy contain any specific rule on the
ability to be a donor or donee. In the laws studied, regarding the donor,
the paper stresses the need for the free disposal of the goods and, as to
the donee, the ability to accept conditional or onerous donation. More
over, it analyzes what happens to the donations made to legally incapable
persons and reference is made to donations made to unborn children.
