Proposition de loi modifiant le Code civil en ce qui concerne le paiement libératoire au conjoint survivant ou au partenaire cohabitant.

This is a Belgian private member's bill (proposition de loi) submitted to the Chamber of Representatives. It proposes amending the Civil Code so that payments can validly discharge a debtor when made to a surviving spouse or cohabiting partner. The aim is to clarify when a person who pays money owed to a deceased person's estate or partner is legally protected from paying twice. The change would mainly affect surviving spouses and cohabiting partners who receive payments after a partner's death, as well as debtors such as banks, insurers and other institutions making those payments. Because this is based on the title only, the exact scope and details of the proposed rules are not confirmed here.
