These same provisions do not apply to presumed absentees or persons mentioned in Article 120 when they have left sufficient power of attorney to represent them and administer their property.

The same applies if the spouse is able to provide sufficiently for the interests in question through the application of the matrimonial property regime, and in particular through the effect of a decision obtained under articles 217 and 219, 1426and 1429.
