I was given a gift with the condition that I may not give it to anyone.

Question

I was given a gift with the condition that I may not give it to anyone. Is this a binding condition?

Answer

A condition of any kind attached to a gift is not at all valid. Once the person has taken possession of the gift, he/she can do with it whatever he/she wishes regardless of any condition agreed to.
