Article 760
ELI5— what this means for you
A donor can revoke a donation if the donee commits ingratitude: e.g., attempting to kill the donor, accusing the donor of a crime, or refusing to support the donor who has fallen into poverty.
Key point
Donations can be revoked if the recipient is ungrateful — especially if they harm or abandon the donor.
Official text — RA 386
