Inalienability clauses affecting donated or bequeathed property are only valid if they are temporary and justified by a serious and legitimate interest. Even in this case, the donee or legatee may be judicially authorised to dispose of the property if the interest which had justified the clause has disappeared or if it transpires that a more important interest requires it.
The provisions of this article are without prejudice to gifts made to legal persons or even to natural persons with a duty to form legal persons.
