After the dissolution of the marriage by the death of one of the spouses, the division of undivided property between spouses separated by property, in all that concerns its forms, the maintenance of the indivision and the preferential allocation, the licitation of the property, the effects of the division, the guarantee and the balances, is subject to all the rules that are established in the title “Of successions” for divisions between co-heirs.
The same rules apply after divorce or legal separation. However, preferential allocation is never by right. It can always be decided that any balance due will be payable in full in cash.
