OPINION
BLATZ, Justice.
This case presents the issue of what is the appropriate analysis for determining whether real property obtained by a gift is marital or nonmarital property. The parties to this dispute wed on June 19, 1971 in Cook County, Minnesota. The contested property, located in Cook County (the “North Shore” property), was transferred in two transactions to Colleen C. Olsen and her then-husband, Larry G. Olsen, as joint tenants in 1989 and 1990 by Colleen’s uncle, Klemmet (Klem) Anderson. The couple held the property until the dissolution of their marriage on August 28,1995.
