Des Donations entre-vifs

Succession Law
Titre XVI: Des Donations entre-vifs et des Testamens (On Inter Vivos Donations and Testaments)
Chapitre III: Des Donations entre-vifs (On Inter Vivos Donations)

La réserve que fait le donateur de disposer à son gré, d'un effet compris dans la donation, ou d'une somme fixe sur les biens donnés, tourne au profit de ses héritiers, et leur appartient en cas de décès du donateur, sans en avoir disposé autrement, nonobstant toute stipulation contraire.

Life lesson: The donor reserves the right to dispose of something from the gift. If he dies without using that right, it passes to his heirs — not back to the donee.
Notes: Reserved items at donor's death: if donor reserved right to dispose of item/sum from donation and dies without exercising it → accrues to donor's heirs. Cf. Code Napoléon Art. 946.
