² Be­fore the new law comes in­to force, either spouse may give writ­ten no­tice to the oth­er that the cur­rent mar­it­al prop­erty re­gime of uni­on of prop­erty must be dis­solved in ac­cord­ance with the pre­vi­ous law.

³ If the mar­it­al prop­erty re­gime is dis­solved be­cause an ac­tion filed be­fore the new law comes in­to force is up­held, the di­vi­sion of mar­it­al prop­erty is gov­erned by the pre­vi­ous law.
