Article 1525 of the French Civil Code

The stipulation of unequal shares and the full allocation clause are not deemed to be donations, either in substance or in form, but simply marriage agreements and agreements between partners.

Unless otherwise stipulated, they do not prevent the heirs of the predeceased spouse from taking over the contributions and capital that fell into the community as a result of their author.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 1525

La stipulation de parts inégales et la clause d’attribution intégrale ne sont point réputées des donations, ni quant au fond, ni quant à la forme, mais simplement des conventions de mariage et entre associés.

Sauf stipulation contraire, elles n’empêchent pas les héritiers du conjoint prédécédé de faire la reprise des apports et capitaux tombés dans la communauté du chef de leur auteur.
