pemberi hibah
The party who transfers their property under a grant agreement.
What it means
A pemberi hibah is the party who voluntarily transfers property to the recipient while still alive. The giver must have full rights over the granted property and be legally competent. This transfer is recorded in a grant deed as valid evidence.
Why it matters for families
The giver must ensure that the property being given is not jointly owned property that has not been agreed upon. If joint property is given without the spouse's consent, the grant may be challenged. The family also needs to consider the giver's living needs after the grant is made.
Example
For example, a grandfather grants a rice field to his grandchild, but the field is actually jointly owned with the grandmother. Because the grandmother did not agree, the grant becomes problematic. The family eventually has to resolve the division again.
Common misunderstanding
There is an assumption that the giver is free to give any property without anyone's approval. In fact, joint property in marriage requires the spouse's consent for the grant to be valid.
