1 If the home in which the spouses lived or any household effects belong to the common property, the surviving spouse may request that such property be allocated to him or her and count toward his or her share of the estate.
2 Where justified in the circumstances, at the request of the surviving spouse or the other legal heirs of the deceased spouse, a usufruct or right of residence may be granted in lieu of ownership.
3 If the community of property is not dissolved by death, each spouse may make such requests where he or she may show an overriding interest.
Lorsque la communauté de biens prend fin par le décès d’un époux, le conjoint survivant peut demander que les biens qui eussent été ses biens propres sous le régime de la participation aux acquêts lui soient attribués en imputation sur sa part.
