Article 429 of the French Civil Code

Judicial protection measures may be initiated for emancipated minors as well as for adults.

For unemancipated minors, the application may be lodged and judged during the last year of their minority. However, the judicial protection measure does not take effect until the minor reaches the age of majority.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 429

La mesure de protection judiciaire peut être ouverte pour un mineur émancipé comme pour un majeur.

Pour un mineur non émancipé, la demande peut être introduite et jugée dans la dernière année de sa minorité. La mesure de protection judiciaire ne prend toutefois effet que du jour de sa majorité.
