Are the lands and properties that a father designated for some of his children during his lifetime, either in writing or verbally, considered their private right, or do they fall within the deceased's estate and are distributed among all heirs, taking into account that some of these designations were for the purpose of building, or pursuing ownership issues, or for the children to own inherited properties to avoid prohibitive state laws?
