Article L132-13 of the French Insurance Code

The capital sum or annuity payable on the death of the contracting party to a specified beneficiary is not subject to the rules governing equitable inheritance or to the rules governing reduction on the grounds that the contracting party’s heirs have been deprived of their right of inheritance.

Nor do these rules apply to sums paid by the contracting party as premiums, unless these were manifestly exaggerated in view of his means.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L132-13

Le capital ou la rente payables au décès du contractant à un bénéficiaire déterminé ne sont soumis ni aux règles du rapport à succession, ni à celles de la réduction pour atteinte à la réserve des héritiers du contractant.

Ces règles ne s’appliquent pas non plus aux sommes versées par le contractant à titre de primes, à moins que celles-ci n’aient été manifestement exagérées eu égard à ses facultés.
