Nominal Consideration

By on January 22, 2019

Nominal consideration refers to a consideration amount that is significantly less than the market value of the asset which changes hands in the transaction.

For an ownership transfer of a property to be legally considered as a proper purchase, there must be consideration so that the property has the legal protection regarding purchasers.

As such a nominal consideration is like a token payment so that the transaction meets the requirement of consideration.

This makes the contract enforceable by law as a purchase transaction.

The lack of consideration might categorized such a transaction as a gift which would not give the contract the legal backing a purchase enjoys.

Even a $1 nominal consideration makes a contract a “regular” one.
