Spanish term

pertenencen en plena propiedad a ambos por mitad

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law: Contract(s)
Estoy traduciendo unas capitulaciones matrimoniales venezolanas para los EE.UU.:

"QUINTO: Los bienes donados a uno de los cónyuges son de este, y los donados a ambas **pertenecen en plena propiedad a ambos por mitad**; salvo disposición en contrario."

Entiendo que quiere decir que se dividen por la mitad y se reparten entre ambos cónyuges.

¿Cómo se formularía esta idea en inglés? Gracias nuevamente

Yvonne Becker (asker) Sep 1, 2019:
Más contexto:separación total de bienes La primera cláusula dice: "Clara y determinadamente, convenimos en que entre nosotros no habrá comunidad de bienes de ganancias, ni de frutos, cualquiera sea su origen o la causa de adquisición de la cual se deriven dichos bienes, ganancias, frutos o proventos, sino que tendremos una estricta, tajante y rígida separación de bienes, conservando cada uno de nosotros no solamente la propiedad, sino la administración y goce de las mismas."

agree Robert Carter : My attempt is: "Assets donated to one of the spouses belongs to that spouse, while each spouse owns one half of those assets donated to both spouses." Not too different from yours, so an agree.

The goods donated to one of the spouses are of this, and those donated to both belong in full ownership to both in half; unless otherwise provided.

Mediante la plena propiedad una persona es propietaria de un bien y además posee el pleno uso sobre el mismo.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Robert Carter : "in full ownership... in half" sounds muddled to me.//I understand the meaning, but I'm still not convinced by your wording.

Spanish term (edited): pertenecen en plena propiedad a ambos por mitad

belong absolutely (outright) to each of them as to one half

I've avoided 'owned absolutely...' in case, inadvertently, HP - hire purchase goods owned by a finance company with the registrable title are donated to either spouse to which they, then tentatively and temporarily, belong: has happened....

Absolutely also subsumes both goods (chattles) and land, so a fee simple *absolute* in possession (see Barron's US Law Dictionary), and not joint ownership e.g. community property (surely?) on a joint tenancy but separate ownership on an arrangement like an ENG tenancy-in-common.

This is similar to the wording used in Anglo-Am. Wills and in an *unconditional gift*, but others may beg to differ rather than defer to my actual ENG Wills and gifts drafting practic/se.
Example sentence:

The answer is to make a Property Protection Trust Will, leaving his/her share of the house to his/her children either *absolutely* or in a Trust via the Will.

An "unconditional gift" typically remains as separate property. There are many instances an "unconditional gift" is classified as a mutual gift, because it benefits both the husband and wife.
