Is the father's action of registering his house in his daughter's name without the full consent of some of the siblings considered Islamically valid after his death?

Favoring one child over another in gift-giving is forbidden. If a father gifts his daughter a house verbally only, and she does not take possession of it during his lifetime, the gift is considered void upon his death, by agreement of the imams. However, if he gave her possession of the house during his lifetime while he was healthy, there are two scholarly opinions regarding the revocation of the gift.
