Donations or legacies made to an association are subject to the acceptance rules laid down in the statutes of the association.
They are also subject to authorisation from the trustees. Financial, legal and administrative control is exercised by state departments on the ways in which donations and legacies may be used. This is why, when associations receive bequests, their notary studies all the other information obtained from reading of the will, all the other associations receiving bequests, and the prefecture in which the death took place.
