I want to give my daughter €100k to buy out her husband in a separation agreement for the family home

The broader issue is probably protecting the OP’s overall wealth.

Where there’s marital breakdown on the cards for a child and the parent has a reasonable amount of wealth, it’s important that the parent amends his/her will to settle the child’s share of the estate into a discretionary trust.

That way the departing spouse can’t get a slice of it.

On foot of the ‘G vs G’ case, second bites at the cherry post divorce in respect of inheritances aren’t really a risk.

Draw up a loan agreement with a repayment plan of €3000 per calender year and then you can gift her back the same amount per calender year. A bit of paperwork but it means her CAT A allowance is not effected when she inherits from you in the future.
