Article 815-10 of the French Civil Code

Receivables and indemnities which replace undivided property, as well as property acquired, with the consent of all the undivided co-owners, in use or replacement of undivided property, are by operation of law undivided.

The fruits and income of undivided property accrue to the undivided co-ownership, in the absence of provisional partition or any other agreement establishing divided enjoyment.

No claim relating to the fruits and income shall, however, be admissible more than five years after the date on which they were received or could have been received.

Each undivided co-owner shall be entitled to the profits derived from the undivided property and shall bear the losses in proportion to his rights in the undivided property.

Article 815-10

Sont de plein droit indivis, par l’effet d’une subrogation réelle, les créances et indemnités qui remplacent des biens indivis, ainsi que les biens acquis, avec le consentement de l’ensemble des indivisaires, en emploi ou remploi des biens indivis.

Les fruits et les revenus des biens indivis accroissent à l’indivision, à défaut de partage provisionnel ou de tout autre accord établissant la jouissance divise.

Aucune recherche relative aux fruits et revenus ne sera, toutefois, recevable plus de cinq ans après la date à laquelle ils ont été perçus ou auraient pu l’être.

Chaque indivisaire a droit aux bénéfices provenant des biens indivis et supporte les pertes proportionnellement à ses droits dans l’indivision.
