(I'm reposting this as my previous answer got deleted when I added a note)
"Carence" means that there is no "syndic" (none appointed, mandate expired and/or not renewed) or that the "syndic" in charge is unable to act, for whatever reason.
I think "insolvency" as such is too limited.
For "syndic", I suggest using administrator or owners' agent (to be checked as English is not my target language)

In other words, "il" - whoever that might be - will take out an insurance policy if there is no "syndic" or if the "syndic" in unable to do it.

: With you on the meaning, mary-ann but I think the English may be happier as "In the case of the syndic becoming insolvent, it insures...."

Note from asker:
| "factor" is a Scottish term, and probably archaic. Philippe Boucry has suggested "agent" or "administrator" |
| Having said what I have in my earlier note, it is kind of you to have reacted so promptly to my call for help. |
