| Article 749 of the Civil Code requires that the donation of real property must be made in a public instrument. Otherwise, the donation is void. A deed of donation acknowledged before a notary public is a public document.[12] The notary public shall certify that he knows the person acknowledging the instrument and that such person is the same person who executed the instrument, acknowledging that the instrument is his free act and deed. The acceptance may be made in the same deed of donation or in a separate instrument. An acceptance made in a separate instrument must also be in a public document. If the acceptance is in a separate public instrument, the donor shall be notified in writing of such fact. Both instruments must state the fact of such notification.[13] | |||||
