Question juridique clé
Whether the succession contract clause allocating 50 F. SA shares to B. was contractual and binding, or merely unilateral and revocable.
Solution extraite
The clause was contractual and binding under the trust-based interpretation of the succession contract.
Motifs extraits
The wording, structure, and overall allocation scheme of the contract showed that the spouses intended to bind the surviving spouse; the reservation to dispose differently applied only to legacies, not to shares forming B.'s hereditary portion. The interests of the contracting parties also supported a binding obligation.
