Bus/Financial - Accounting / Charity finances
French term or phrase: Legs & Dons en contrepartie d'Actifs immobilisés
This is in the context of a charity's financial report, under the section 'Produits Courants Dispo'.

I have some doubts about how to translate "en contrepartie" here, my attempt:

"Bequests & Gifts offsetting Fixed Assets"


Thanks for your help!

Testamentary Gifts (legacies & devises) & Lifetime Donations made in consideration of Fixed Assets
Explanation:
I think the gifts are made in return for fixed assets brought into the company.

'Legs' also needs to be watched. It is not only legacies or bequests of personalty (chattels and money as personal property) biut also devises of realty (e.g. of land & buildings). Leaseholds in ENG land law are a (shameful) hybrid called a 'chattel real'.

Predicated on Daryo's helpful comments, an accounting-fitter - rather than pithier - translation might be '(Value-matched) Fixed Assets originating from Testamentary Gifts and Lifetime Donations'
