Gifts inter vivos may be of three kinds:
(1) A purely gratuitous gift, or one made without any condition attached and through mere liberality.
(2) An onerous gift, or one in which the donee is burdened with a charge upon the value of the thing donated.
(3) A remunerative gift or one made to a person by reason of his merits or for services rendered to the donor, provided such services do not constitute recoverable debts.
