358. Donations, whether made for establishing a branch house or for any other causes, do not validly exist, unless they are made by an authentic decument, in addition to fulfillment of the conditions necessary for the existence of an ordinary agreement.
Nevertheless, customary gifts, and donations consisting in simple handing over do not require such formalities.
