Is a gift presented by a father to his sons, daughters, and wife valid, excluding one of his wealthy daughters, knowing that the father did not register the land in the names of the donees, and that the daughter who was not given the gift was aware of it and did not object until after the father's death?

A father must be just among his children in gifts and endowments, giving the male the equivalent of the share of two females. The obligation of equitable distribution is not waived if one of the children is wealthy or married. If the father dies without having been just, those endowments revert to the estate and are divided among all heirs according to the prescribed legal division. As for what he gifted to his wife, it does not revert to the estate if she took possession of it during his lifetime; otherwise, it returns to the estate.
