  • Section 126.

  • Section 127.Onerous Gift. This section provides that if there are two properties and one is beneficial and other one is in loss, then donee cannot be allowed to accept the beneficial part of gift and reject the onerous one.

  • Section 128.Universal Donee. If the donor’s gift consists of his whole property then the donee is liable for all the debts and liabilities of that property only to the extend to the property that is within the gift.
