So I can't give my son a chocolate bar for Christmas unless he needs the energy to survive? IFF you'll concede this then what if I die before he opens his present, should it then go to the state?
I'm sure you'll see the fat end of that wedge. How about if instead of chocolate it is €1 to buy chocolate? OK? What about €10. €1000 but he buys a car that he can use to go to work in? €250,000 but he buys a house for orphans? ...

If someone is unable to work, then they can get money from the government.
Do you advocate ruling out any giving of gifts beyond necessity, period?
If I earn money (or any asset really) and then gift it to someone does it matter if I died between me earning it and them being given it?
