Will a gift be completed through the legal transfer of deeds ? What if the donee is not aware of the gift ?

Fatawa Question

I have two questions regarding inheritance and gifts : 1) a family of four (mother, father and two sons) live together in one house. The father wishes to gift his house to both of his sons in his lifetime. What is the correct way of doing this Islamically ? 2) can a mother gift her house (that she currently lives in) to her son without his knowledge ? (i.e. she transfers the property into his name without his knowledge so that she can continue to live in the property).
