1Opinion of the Court
CLARK, Justice.*
hWe granted this writ application to determine whether the court of appeal erred in reversing a trial court judgment which declared the decedent’s wife a one-half owner of the family home and its furnishings. Because we find the agreement at issue was enforceable without judicial approval for purposes of La.Civ.Code art. 2329, and the existence of a community property regime is not a prerequisite to the applicability of La.Civ.Code art. 2343.1, we reverse the judgment of the court of appeal and reinstate the trial court judgment.
