If the presumed absent person is called to a partition, it may be made amicably.

In the event of conflicting interests between the representative and the presumed absent person, the guardianship judge shall authorise the division, even if partial, in the presence of the substitute appointed in accordance with Article 115.

In all cases, the liquidation statement is subject to approval by the guardianship judge.

Any other division is considered provisional.
