4.1.4 Accepting Donations

A donation inter vivos is without effect unless and until accepted by the donee during the donor’s lifetime.1  If the donee is of full age, the acceptance may be made by the donee or by a mandatory having power to accept the donation.2  Gifts to an unemancipated minor may be accepted by a parent or other ascendant or by the minor’s tutor, even if the person who accepts is also the donor.3
