Article 834 of the French Civil Code

The beneficiary of the preferential allotment does not become the sole owner of the property allotted until the day of the final partition.

Until that date, he may renounce the allotment only where the value of the property, as determined on the day of that allotment, has increased by more than a quarter on the day of the partition independently of his personal act.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 834

Le bénéficiaire de l’attribution préférentielle ne devient propriétaire exclusif du bien attribué qu’au jour du partage définitif.

Jusqu’à cette date, il ne peut renoncer à l’attribution que lorsque la valeur du bien, telle que déterminée au jour de cette attribution, a augmenté de plus du quart au jour du partage indépendamment de son fait personnel.
