Hi,
A deathbed gift is automatically binding; it does not require any of the technical methods of closing a transaction in order to be binding.
The Talmudic rationale for this is that if a dying person had to jump through hoops to make his gift valid, that would torment him and even hasten his death.
(Code of Jewish Law Choshen Mishpat 250:1)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
