Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A gift that is made in contemplation of death is known as a gift causa mortis. This type of gift is conditional and only becomes effective if the donor dies as a result of the anticipated peril. It differs from an inter vivos gift, which is made during the donor's lifetime without any anticipation of death. The estate pour autre vie is a type of life estate, and gift inter vivos is a type of gift made during lifetime without anticipation of death.
