Overdraagbaar

Overdraagbaar is a Dutch adjective that translates to transferable or assignable in English. It describes something that can be passed from one person or entity to another. This concept is frequently encountered in legal and financial contexts.

In law, a right or obligation can be overdraagbaar if it is legally permissible to transfer it. For example, a debt can be overdraagbaar from one creditor to another. Similarly, certain contractual rights, such as the right to receive payment, are often overdraagbaar. However, some rights are not overdraagbaar by their very nature, such as personal rights or rights that are specifically stated to be non-transferable in a contract. The transfer of overdraagbaar rights is typically governed by specific legal procedures to ensure its validity.

In a financial context, overdraagbaar assets are those that can be sold or assigned. This can include tangible assets like property or vehicles, as well as intangible assets like intellectual property rights or shares in a company. The overdraagbaarheid of financial instruments is a key feature of financial markets, allowing for liquidity and the efficient allocation of capital. The specific conditions under which an asset is overdraagbaar will depend on the nature of the asset and the relevant regulations.
