Appellate Practice Attorney serving New York, NY
With limited exceptions, an unconditional gift (i.e. I give you the phone absolutely w/o any conditions v. giving you the phone "as long as you keep your g.p.a. above 3.0" or "as long as we are together") is irrevocable. The main exceptions are gifts given in contemplation of marriage, and gifts given in contemplation of death (i.e. I give you my house believing that I'm about to die from a gunshot, but the doctors save me).
