Article 280-2 of the French Civil Code

Any reversionary pensions paid in respect of the deceased spouse are automatically deducted from the amount of the compensatory allowance, where the latter, on the date of death, took the form of an annuity. If the heirs exercise the option provided for in article 280-1 and unless otherwise decided by the judge, a deduction of the same amount shall continue to be made if the creditor loses his entitlement or suffers a change in his entitlement to a reversionary pension.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 280-2

Les pensions de réversion éventuellement versées du chef du conjoint décédé sont déduites de plein droit du montant de la prestation compensatoire, lorsque celle-ci, au jour du décès, prenait la forme d’une rente. Si les héritiers usent de la faculté prévue à l’article 280-1 et sauf décision contraire du juge, une déduction du même montant continue à être opérée si le créancier perd son droit ou subit une variation de son droit à pension de réversion.
