Article 767 of the French General Tax Code

Where the heirs or universal legatees are burdened with particular legacies of sums of money not existing in the succession and they have paid the duty on all the assets of this same succession, the same duty is not due for these legacies; consequently, the duties already paid by the particular legatees must be deducted from those due by the heirs or universal legatees.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 767

Lorsque les héritiers ou légataires universels sont grevés de legs particuliers de sommes d’argent non existantes dans la succession et qu’ils ont acquitté le droit sur l’intégralité des biens de cette même succession, le même droit n’est pas dû pour ces legs ; conséquemment, les droits déjà payés par les légataires particuliers doivent s’imputer sur ceux dus par les héritiers ou légataires universels.
