Tech/Engineering - Patents / Change of ownership of patents, etc.
French term or phrase: impossibilité matérielle
Formalities for French Patents Office (documents to be provided):

"En cas de mutation par décès ou d'impossibilité matérielle, dûment justifiée, de produire une copie ou un extrait de l'acte"

In fact the whole sentence - at least from "de produire" onwards - doesn't make too much sense.
