Article L526-15 of the French Commercial code

In the event that the individual limited liability entrepreneur renounces the appropriation or in the event of his death, the declaration mentioned in Article L. 526-7 ceases to have effect. However, in the event of cessation, concomitant with the waiver, of the professional activity to which the assets are assigned or in the event of death, the creditors mentioned in 1° and 2° of I of Article L. 526-12 retain as their sole general pledge that which was theirs at the time of renunciation or death.

In the event of renunciation, the sole trader shall cause a notice thereof to be entered in the register to which he is subject pursuant to l’article L. 526-7. In the event of death, an heir, successor in title or any person authorised to do so shall make a note thereof in the same register.

Article L526-15

En cas de renonciation de l’entrepreneur individuel à responsabilité limitée à l’affectation ou en cas de décès de celui-ci, la déclaration mentionnée à l’article L. 526-7 cesse de produire ses effets. Toutefois, en cas de cessation, concomitante à la renonciation, de l’activité professionnelle à laquelle le patrimoine est affecté ou en cas de décès, les créanciers mentionnés aux 1° et 2° du I de l’article L. 526-12 conservent pour seul gage général celui qui était le leur au moment de la renonciation ou du décès.

En cas de renonciation, l’entrepreneur individuel en fait porter la mention au registre dont il relève en application de l’article L. 526-7. En cas de décès, un héritier, un ayant droit ou toute personne mandatée à cet effet en fait porter la mention au même registre.
