Within fifteen days of receipt of the letter referred to in the first paragraph, the body will forward this request to the undertakings authorised to carry out insurance operations dependent on the length of human life. If the natural or legal person referred to in the first paragraph is named as the beneficiary in a policy, these undertakings have one month to inform him of the existence of a guaranteed capital sum or annuity payable to him.
