Donation
Hi. I'm proofreading a document. The context is a 'donation' from father to son.
M. X s'engage à verser ladite somme..., lequel versement emportera bonne et valable quittance de la part de ce dernier dès réception"
The meaning is clear to me. The translator has written "Said transfer will effect good and valid discharge by the latter ". I wanted to know if this expression was acceptable in this context as I have my doubts..

shall constitute good and valid discharge
The payment constitutes, rather than "effects" good and valid discharge because it doesn't perform discharge of the duty, it is the duty.

: "constitute" is also fine, but not your explanation: in itself the payment IS NOT the "discharge" - it's the creditor who is supposed to give the "quittance" i.e. normally the payer CAN NOT give to itself a "quittance".

The text does not impose a duty of giving quittance on the creditor, but makes it automatic upon payment. Therefore, it is quite valid to use "discharge" and that is a property of the payment itself, not an action by the creditor.

will effect good and valid discharge
emportera bonne et valable quittance = vaudra bonne et valable quittance
IOW the recipient of the payment has NOTHING to do [doesn't have to "donner ..."]
the payment itself will have the same value [will produce the same effect as] as the recipient giving a discharge.
"will effect" is perfectly correct.

the provided translation makes perfect sense - that was the question asked, and yes I did check the use and meaning of "to effect" in this context.
