FILE:     B-217484            DATE:     February 11, 1986

MATTER OF:       Joel 0. Brende - Real Estate Title
                 Requirements
DIQEST:

          An employee, between the time he
          received notice of his transfer and the
          date he reported to his new duty
          station, married the woman whose home
          had been his residence at the time he
          received notice of his transfer. He may
          not be reimbursed for real estate
          expenses associated with the sale of
          that residence since he did not acquire
          his interest in the residence prior to
          the date he was definitely informed of
          his transfer. At that time he had
          neither a direct nor a derivative
          interest in the property and, thus, did
          not satisfy the requirements of Federal
          Travel Regulations paragraph 2-6.1c.
          53 Comp. Gen. 90 (1973) is overruled.


      The Veterans Administration has requested a decision
 concerning the claim of a transferred employee, Dr. Joel 0.
 Brende, for reimbursement of real estate expenses associated
 with the sale of a residence at his old official duty
 station. The residence in question was originally owned
 solely by the woman Dr. Brende married after he received
 notification of his transfer. We hold that Dr. Brende may
 not be reimbursed for any of the real estate expenses
 associated with the sale of that residence since he did not
 acquire his interest in the residence prior to the date he
 was definitely informed of his transfer, as required by
 paragraph 2-6.1c of the Federal Travel Regulations (Supp. 4,
 August 23, 1983), incorp. by ref., 41 C.F.R. § 101-7.003
 (1984) (FTR).

      Dr. Brende was transferred from the Veterans
 Administration Medical Center in Topeka, Kansas, to the
 Veterans Administration Medical Center in Montrose,
 New York, with a reporting date of September 18, 1983.
 Dr. Brende signed the service agreement required by
