Is the act of acceptance on the part of the donee essential to constitute a valid gift?
The donee must make his acceptance known in order to constitute a valid gift. Also such acceptance should be made in the lifetime of the donor and while he is still capable of making the transfer 55. Question: Is it possible to gift an actionable claim Answer: Unlike other movable property, the mere delivery of an actionable claim will not amount to a valid gift. The transfer of an actionable claim can only be done by execution of a written instrument signed by the transferor. Such transfer need not be registered.
