Article 1078-5 of the French Civil Code

This liberality constitutes a gift-sharing even if the ascendant donor would only have one child, whether the sharing is between the latter and his descendants or between his descendants only.

It requires the consent, in the deed, of the child who renounces all or part of his rights, as well as of his descendants who benefit from it. The liberality is void where the consent of the renouncing party has been vitiated by error, fraud or violence.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 1078-5

Cette libéralité constitue une donation-partage alors même que l’ascendant donateur n’aurait qu’un enfant, que le partage se fasse entre celui-ci et ses descendants ou entre ses descendants seulement.

Elle requiert le consentement, dans l’acte, de l’enfant qui renonce à tout ou partie de ses droits, ainsi que de ses descendants qui en bénéficient. La libéralité est nulle lorsque le consentement du renonçant a été vicié par l’erreur, le dol ou la violence.
