Multiple Choice Medium

Practice question

A donation by reason of marriage concerns mortgaged property. Is the encumbrance alone necessarily fatal under Article 85?
  1. Yes, every encumbrance voids the donation
  2. No; Article 85 expressly recognizes validity of an encumbered-property donation, subject to the governing rules
  3. Yes, because only cash may be donated
  4. Yes, because mortgages erase ownership automatically
  5. No, because the mortgage is automatically cancelled
