Article 2356 of the French Civil Code

On pain of nullity, the pledge of a claim must be concluded in writing.

The secured claims and the pledged claims are designated in the deed.

If they are future, the deed must allow them to be individualised or contain elements allowing this such as the indication of the debtor, the place of payment, the amount of the claims or their valuation and, if applicable, their due date.

A peine de nullité, le nantissement de créance doit être conclu par écrit.

Les créances garanties et les créances nanties sont désignées dans l’acte.

Si elles sont futures, l’acte doit permettre leur individualisation ou contenir des éléments permettant celle-ci tels que l’indication du débiteur, le lieu de paiement, le montant des créances ou leur évaluation et, s’il y a lieu, leur échéance.
