The guardianship judge is seised by a request from the public prosecutor to which is attached the report mentioned in Article 1262.
The judge gathers all useful information. The court clerk shall summon to the hearing, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, the person receiving the benefits, as well as those whose hearing the judge considers useful.
The file may be consulted at the clerk’s office until the judge has made his decision by the person receiving the benefits, at his written request and without any restriction other than the requirements of the service.
