When the spouses have stipulated participation in acquests, each has, unless otherwise agreed, the option of registering the legal mortgage as security for the participation claim.
The registration may be made before the dissolution of the matrimonial regime, but it will only have effect from that dissolution and on condition that the immovables to which it relates exist on that date in the assets of the debtor spouse.
In the event of early liquidation, the registration prior to the request shall have effect from the day of the request, the subsequent registration having effect only from its date as stated in Article 2418.
The registration may also be made in the year following the dissolution of the matrimonial property regime; it will then take effect from its date.
