Article 1518 of the French Civil Code

When the community is dissolved during the lifetime of the spouses, there is no need to issue the precipitate; but the spouse in whose favour it has been stipulated retains his rights for the event of survival, subject to Article 265. He may require a surety from his spouse as security for his rights.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 1518

Lorsque la communauté se dissout du vivant des époux, il n’y a pas lieu à la délivrance du préciput ; mais l’époux au profit duquel il a été stipulé conserve ses droits pour le cas de survie, sous réserve de l’article 265. Il peut exiger une caution de son conjoint en garantie de ses droits.
