At the opening of any guardianship, the family council or, failing this, the judge, after hearing the tutor, decides whether a registration must be required on the tutor’s immovables. If so, the family council determines the amount to be registered and designates the immovable property to be encumbered. If not, he may, however, decide that the registration of the mortgage will be replaced by the constitution of a pledge or collateral, the conditions of which he himself determines.
During the guardianship, the family council or, failing this, the judge may always order, when the interests of the minor or the adult under guardianship appear to require it, that either an initial registration or additional registrations will be made, or that a pledge or collateral will be constituted.
In the case of legal administration of the property of the minor, the guardianship judge, ruling either ex officio or at the request of a parent or relative or the public prosecutor, may similarly decide that an entry shall be made on the immovable property of the legal administrator, or that the latter shall constitute a pledge or collateral security.
The entries provided for by this article shall be made at the request of the clerk of the guardianship judge, and the costs thereof shall be charged to the guardianship account.
