The answer

A grandmother's relinquishing of her share to her grandchildren is considered a gift, and it is valid if she is not interdicted and the donees take possession of the gift during her lifetime. If they do not take possession, the gift is not complete, and her share becomes an inheritance to be divided according to . However, if she relinquishes it during her death illness, it is considered a will that is executed within the limits of one-third of her estate, and anything beyond that depends on the consent of the heirs.
