The statement is incorrect. An inter vivos gift is made during the donor's lifetime, while a gift causa mortis is made by the donor during their lifetime but with the understanding that it will only take effect upon their death or impending death. It is still a gift made during the donor's lifetime, not by their estate after their death.
