In plain words
Once the money is handed over, in principle you can't get it back. A gift can be freely revoked only before it has been transferred into the other person's name. After the transfer is complete, it can be revoked only in three situations: the other person seriously harms you or your close relatives, fails to support you when obliged to, or fails to perform an agreed obligation. So before a large transfer, think clearly about whether it is a loan or a gift.
