Where it has not been possible to give them the summons, the court registry sends a summons to the hearing to the protected adult or adult to be protected, except where the judge has decided that there is no need to proceed with the hearing pursuant to the provisions of the second paragraph of article 432 and the first paragraph of Article 494-4 of the Civil Code, to the person responsible for protection, and also, if the judge considers it useful, to one or more of the relatives referred to in Articles 430 et 494-1 du même code. The meeting is convened by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt.
However, where the application shows that only the last address of the protected person or person to be protected is known, the court clerk’s office invites the applicant to proceed by service of process.
The clerk’s office notifies the applicant by any means of the place, date and time of the hearing to pronounce, modify or review the adult protection measure. The public prosecutor’s office is also notified and may, of its own motion or at the request of the guardianship judge, submit its opinion or conclusions on the appropriateness and terms of the protection.
