Article 931-1 of the French Civil Code

In the event of a formal defect, an inter vivos gift cannot be confirmed. It must be redone in the legal form.

After the death of the donor, the confirmation or voluntary execution of a donation by the heirs or successors in title of the donor entails their waiver of the right to oppose formal defects or any other cause of nullity.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 931-1

En cas de vice de forme, une donation entre vifs ne peut faire l’objet d’une confirmation. Elle doit être refaite en la forme légale.

Après le décès du donateur, la confirmation ou exécution volontaire d’une donation par les héritiers ou ayant cause du donateur emporte leur renonciation à opposer les vices de forme ou toute autre cause de nullité.
