Transferring your assets is a precautionary measure to protect your loved ones. For this reason, it is best to be fully prepared. Donations, hand to hand gift and customary presents are a few options available to you. Here are some tips to give you a better idea.

Give Air Liquide shares

By giving Air Liquide shares to your relatives, you pass on to them your interest in the stock market and business. Give them the opportunity to add value to their savings, thanks to the performance of the world leader in gases for industry, healthcare and the environment.
The solution: a customary present.
This is a gift given on a special occasion (e.g., marriage, birthday, Christmas). It can be in the form of securities, but must represent a relatively small share of the grantor’s assets.
What about taxes?
If it respects these conditions, the gift does not need to be included in the grantor’s estate and is not taxed by fiscal authorities.
Gifts do not need to be declared.

Plan your inheritance or make a donation, it's easy!
