Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the transfer of assets was a donation or a fiduciary arrangement
Extrahierter Entscheid
The cantonal court could, without arbitrariness, reject the donation thesis and accept a fiduciary transfer aimed at hiding assets from the tax authorities.
Extrahierte Begründung
The surrounding circumstances, the family history, the banking steps taken, and the timing after tax problems supported fiduciary transfer; the donation version was not plausible.
