https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exempt_property
Exempt property, under the law of property in many jurisdictions, is property that can neither be passed by will nor claimed by creditors of the deceased in the event that a decedent leaves a surviving spouse or surviving descendants. Typically, exempt property includes a family car, and a certain amount of cash (perhaps $10,000-$20,000), or the equivalent value in personal property.

Notes to answerer
Asker: The testament is from Florida, USA. I've also found "exonérés" (exonerated from estate tax).

Asker: Après de longues heures de réflexion, et la consultation d'autres experts, je me range à cette idée. Merci à toutes et tous ! Thank you all, this one seems to be the best option!

neutral  AllegroTrans: I'm uncertain - we don't know where the source text is from for a start and we don't what the exemption is, viz. exempt from what or in what regard? Context is needed imo

neutral  Germaine: Je peux me tromper, mais je pense que pour la Floride (cf. discussion), il s'agit bien "d'exclusions" (par rapport à la masse).

biens exonérés


Explanation:
We don't exactly what kind of exemption this is, so I would use a general term

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks. But what do you mean by "general"? "insaisissables" would work? or "exonérés" on its own?

Asker: Having found (thanks to another colleague) the below link, I think I'll chose "exonérés". https://www.hoffmanpa.com/practices/probate-guardianship-trusts-estates/probate-administration/exempt-property/

Asker: Merci Germaine ! En relisant le texte du lien, je n'ai plus été sûre du tout ! Je me laisse la nuit pour laisser reposer.

Asker: "insaisissables" est en fait assez adapté...

neutral  Germaine: "exonérés" connote généralement l'aspect fiscal. La définition donnée à "exempt property" (cf. discussion) va au-delà, il me semble. Je m'en tiendrais à "exclusions/biens exclus" comme terme "général".
