personal details
Explanation:
Judging from the wording this is a disclaimer whereby only such matters as the person's name and address are being vouched for

personal acts [as a man] (official Legifrance translation)


Explanation:
Article 1382 of the Civil Code, headed "faits personnels" in the French version -- this is the "official" Legifrance translation of it:

"CHAPTER II
Of Intentional and Unintentional Wrongs [Of Torts]

Articles 1382 to 1386

Art. 1382
Any act whatever of man, which causes damage to another, obliges the one by whose fault it occurred, to
compensate it."

So, in context, "...apart from those arising out of the personal acts of the replaced executor".

Notes to answerer
Asker: Sorry for so little context. A person named in the Will as executor has renounced this office and is assigning/transferring it to another person.

Reference: detailed explanation

Reference information:
Il existe un autre effet entre le cédant et le cessionnaire. En effet, le cédant est tenu d'une garantie envers le cessionnaire. Comme tout vendeur, le cédant doit au cessionnaire délivrance (remise du titre ou des actes) et garantie (l'obligation que la loi ou le contrat impose à celui qui transmet la propriété ou la jouissance d'un bien ou d'une créance, de prendre fait et cause pour celui auquel il a transféré ses droits lorsqu'un tiers vient à contester ceux de ce dernier). Selon l'art. 1693 du Code civil, la garantie vaut pour l'existence de la créance mais également pour les accessoires de la créance (Req., 23 octobre 1895). En revanche, selon l'art. 1694, la garantie ne vaut pas pour la solvabilité éventuelle ou future du débiteur. La cession de créance a un aspect spéculatif dont le risque pèse sur le cessionnaire. Il peut donc exister un écart entre le prix de la créance et la cession pour venir compenser le risque que la créance soit nulle ou déjà éteinte au moment où le cessionnaire en prend déjà possession.

Ses effets peuvent être contournés conventionnellement: le débiteur cédé peut renoncer aux exceptions / le cédant peut étendre ou diminuer la garantie envers le cessionnaire. Ces effets peuvent donc faire l'objet de clauses extensives ou restrictives.

·la clause restrictive consiste pour la garantie en une exclusion pure et simple. Cette exonération de garantie connait toutefois une limite, elle ne peut être prévue pour ###fait personnel### du cédant parce que le droit commun de la vente interdit une telle clause restrictive de garantie en son art. 1628. au contraire, le cédant est toujours garant de l'inexistence et de la nullité de la créance (Civ 1, 20 mars 2001, l'apport de cet arrêt est de montrer que la cession de créance exige que soit déterminé ou déterminable la créance à céder. Si la créance n'est pas déterminée, la garantie du cédant ne peut pas jouer parce que, si la créance ne peut pas être déterminée, alors il n'y a pas de cession de créance et pas de garantie du cédant.)

neutral  Tim Webb: Yes, but art 1628 of the CC deals with the "garantie d'éviction" in a sale (a seller must not, by his *own personal acts or deeds*, disturb the buyer's enjoyment of the property). Can't see why such a clause would be put in a will...but it has been!
