Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Georgia
Unfortunately, your grandmother is terminally ill and confined to bed rest. On one of your visits to her, she states to you, �I want you to have your grandfather�s watch when I pass away; it is what he would have wanted.� A week later she passes away, the watch is found in her desk and you discover that she made the same promise to your brother. Has a valid inter vivos gift taken place to either of you?

My grandmother is not terminally ill and this is not the place to to get answers to your homework assignments.
The only way to dispose of property after death is by a will, so you didn't get a gift and your brother didn't either.
If she left a will, the answer is in her will. If she didn't the watch is part of her estate subject to intestate division.
