Cap. 16 Art. 1772Presumptive condition.

A donation, however, of all present property or of a part of all present property, unless a contrary intention appears from the deed of donation, is presumed to have been made with the reservation of deducting therefrom, before the release or delivery of the property, the amount of the debts of the donor, existing at the time of the donation, either wholly or in proportion to the part given according as to whether the donation includes all the property or only a part thereof:

Provided that such deduction cannot be claimed after the delivery or the release of the property has taken place; saving the right of the creditors to any of the actions mentioned in article 1769.
