Terms Used In Louisiana Civil Code 1749

  • Donee: The recipient of a gift.
  • Donor: The person who makes a gift.

When the donation consists of property that the donor will leave at his death, it becomes of no effect and the object thereof thereupon falls to the heirs or legatees of the donor spouse, as the case may be, if the donee predeceases the donor or, once the donor’s succession is opened, renounces the donation or is declared unworthy to receive it.
