No. I am assuming that you are asking about a gift given to you by your spouse. In community property states, items are split up upon a divorce with each side getting half. Gifts between one spouse and another are an exception to this and you are entitled to keep the gift.Gifts can be property that was given to one spouse by the other, or property given to a spouse from anyone else. It will only be considered a gift, however, if it is clear from the actions of the person giving the property that they intended to give a gift to that particular person. If it is a gift, it will be separate property.
No. A gift doesn't give her rights in the property.If the adult child dies her spouse and children will be her legal heirs at law. Her parents would be her legal heirs only if she had no spouse or children or will.No. A gift doesn't give her rights in the property.If the adult child dies her spouse and children will be her legal heirs at law.

No. A gift is a gift.
In 2016, the annual exclusion limit for non-taxable gifts to a non-U.S. citizen spouse was $148,000. This means that a U.S. citizen could gift up to this amount without incurring gift tax. Any amount above this limit would require the filing of a gift tax return and could be subject to gift tax. Additionally, gifts to a spouse can also qualify for the unlimited marital deduction, but this only applies if the spouse is a U.S. citizen.
No, it applies to anyone other than a tax-exempt charity.
