The insurance policy may be pledged either by endorsement or by deed subject to the formalities set out in articles 2355 to 2366 of the Civil Code.
Where the beneficiary’s acceptance precedes the pledge, the pledge is subject to the beneficiary’s agreement.
Where the beneficiary’s acceptance is subsequent to the pledge, it has no effect on the rights of the secured creditor.
In the absence of a clause to the contrary, the pledged creditor may cause the redemption notwithstanding the beneficiary’s acceptance.
