Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the payment qualified for the gift-tax exemption for transfers made to avert bankruptcy or attachment under cantonal law.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The exemption did not apply because no concrete enforcement steps or imminent attachment/bankruptcy risk were shown; preserving the family property was insufficient.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court accepted the lower court's view that the payment was a voluntary and gratuitous transfer, but not one made to avert a specific enforcement threat. A mere inability of the heirs to finance the buyout did not establish bankruptcy or attachment risk.
