• property items exclusively used to meet the personal needs of one of the spouses, these may be clothing, sports or medical equipment
• non-transferable rights which may only be enjoyed by one person,
• items obtained for compensation for bodily injury or for causing health disorder or for compensation for harm suffered, but this does not include the pension due to the injured spouse due to: total or partial loss of earning capacity, increasing his needs or reducing future prospects .
• claims for remuneration for work or other gainful activities,
• property acquired for the spouse's personal achievement
• copyright and related rights, as well as industrial property rights
• property acquired in exchange for personal assets, unless a specific provision provides otherwise.

Items of ordinary household equipment used for the use of both spouses are also covered by statutory community in the event that they were acquired by inheritance, registration or donation, unless the testator or donor has decided otherwise.
