Where in a life annuity contract the payment of the life annuity to a third party is agreed, in case of doubt it is to be presumed that the third party is to acquire the right to demand performance directly. The same applies if, in the case of a gratuitous disposition, a duty of performance is imposed on the person provided for, or, in the case of assumption of assets or a landed estate, performance for a third party is promised by the assuming party for the purpose of providing satisfaction.
