Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Indiana

Gift deed

Land owner had given his land to other person for farming 50 years ago.

Due to this other person�s name came as Farmer on that revenue record on that land.

Today both persons are not alive. Before 3years land owner�s family gave this land as gift to the farmer�s heirs through Gift Deed as per the owner�s wish that he wished to give this land to the Farmer. Farmer had 5 children. 3 Sons & 2 daughters. But the beneficiaries are only sons & not the daughter. Can farmer�s daughter take the objection on this Gift Deed or is she eligible for to include her name as beneficiary in that deed.

Re: Gift deed

Hard to tell from the description above. If the grantor said heirs or beneficiaries (which would make me think deed was not prepared by a lawyer) of Farmer X, x1, x2, then the deed might be defective, but then the question is if it is defective does it revert back to farmer's family? If it just says I give to x1, x2, and x3 then daughter is out of luck there too.
