The answer

If a gift fulfills its legal conditions, such as the giver bestowing it not during a death-threatening illness, and the recipient taking possession of it during the giver's lifetime, then it is not to be divided among the heirs; because it has exited the possession of the giver. As for a gift given during a death-threatening illness, it takes the ruling of a will, and is not valid for the children. Rather, it reverts to the estate and is divided according to the legal inheritance distribution.
