incidents of ownership

incidents of ownership
Any control over property. If you give away property but keep an incident of ownership — for example, you give away an apartment building but retain the right to receive rent — then legally, no gift has been made. This distinction can be important if you're making large gifts to reduce your eventual estate tax.
