Insurance in the event of death taken out by a third party on the life of the insured is null and void if the insured has not given his or her consent in writing, specifying the capital or annuity initially guaranteed.
The insured’s consent must, on pain of nullity, be given in writing for any assignment or pledge and for the transfer of the benefit of the contract taken out on his life by a third party.
The provisions of the first paragraph do not apply to compulsory group insurance contracts.
