The spouses may not, one without the other, alienate or encumber with real rights immovables, businesses and holdings belonging to the community, nor non-negotiable corporate rights and tangible movable property the alienation of which is subject to publicity. They may not, without their spouse, receive the capital arising from such transactions.

Similarly, they may not, one without the other, transfer community property into a trust estate.

Article 1424

Les époux ne peuvent, l’un sans l’autre, aliéner ou grever de droits réels les immeubles, fonds de commerce et exploitations dépendant de la communauté, non plus que les droits sociaux non négociables et les meubles corporels dont l’aliénation est soumise à publicité. Ils ne peuvent, sans leur conjoint, percevoir les capitaux provenant de telles opérations.

De même, ils ne peuvent, l’un sans l’autre, transférer un bien de la communauté dans un patrimoine fiduciaire.
