521.41. A spouse may, from the end of the union, renounce partition of the parental union patrimony in whole or in part; the spouse may renounce partition only by notarial act en minute or by a judicial declaration which is recorded, in the course of an application in a family matter.
Renunciation must be entered in the register of personal and movable real rights. Failing entry within a period of one year from the day the union ended, the renouncing spouse is deemed to have accepted.
