Title IV — Property Relations Between Husband and Wife
Article 92
ELI5— what this means for you
These are excluded from ACP (they stay as personal property): (1) property acquired by gratuitous title (inheritance, gift) by either spouse during marriage — UNLESS the donor/testator expressly said otherwise; (2) property for personal and exclusive use of either spouse (personal jewelry is different); (3) property acquired before marriage by a spouse who has legitimate descendants from a prior marriage.
Key point
Inherited or donated property during marriage stays personal unless the giver says it should be shared.
