Each spouse may, for the eventuality that the marriage is dissolved by their death, exclude by testamentary disposition the continuation of the community of property if they are entitled to deprive the other spouse of the compulsory portion or to file a petition for the termination of the community of property. The same applies if the spouse is entitled to petition for the annulment of the marriage and has filed the petition. The exclusion is governed by the provisions on the removal of the compulsory portion, accordingly.
