True or False: A distribution or gift as an accommodation must involve money to be valid.

  1. True

  2. False

  3. Depends on the jurisdiction

  4. Only applies to certain substances

The correct answer is: False

The statement that a distribution or gift as an accommodation must involve money to be valid is false. This is because gifts or distributions can take various forms, not just monetary. An accommodation gift may include items, services, or benefits provided to another party without any requirement for monetary exchange. In numerous legal contexts, the essence of a valid gift or accommodation is the intent behind the transfer, as well as the act of giving itself, rather than the medium of exchange. For example, a distribution of goods, favors, or assistance can still qualify as an accommodation even if no financial transaction is involved. Therefore, the parameter of involving money is not essential for a distribution or a gift to be considered valid.
