A gift made in advance of an inheritance share to a reserved heir who accepts the succession is deducted from his share of the reserve and, subsidiarily, from the available portion, if not otherwise agreed in the deed of gift.The excess is subject to reduction.
A gift made in advance of an inheritance share to a reserved heir who renounces the inheritance is treated as a gift made outside the inheritance share. However, where he is required to report the gift pursuant to the provisions of article 845, the renouncing heir is treated as an heir accepting for the fictitious reunion the imputation and, where applicable, the reduction of the liberality granted to him.
