The answer

What a father gives to his son during his lifetime, and the son takes possession of it before the father's death, is a valid gift. As for what a father bequeaths to one of his heirs after his death, it is a will that is not valid unless the rest of the heirs agree to it, due to the hadith: "There is no will for an heir." If the heirs do not agree, then everything the father left behind is divided among them according to the legal shares. If one of the heirs requests division, his request must be accommodated.
