Article 469 of the French Civil Code

The curator may not substitute himself for the person under curatorship to act on his behalf.

However, the curator may, if he finds that the person under curatorship is seriously compromising his interests, apply to the judge for authorisation to perform a specific act alone or cause guardianship to be opened.

If the curator refuses his assistance with an act for which his assistance is required, the person under curatorship may apply to the judge for authorisation to perform it alone.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 469

Le curateur ne peut se substituer à la personne en curatelle pour agir en son nom.

Toutefois, le curateur peut, s’il constate que la personne en curatelle compromet gravement ses intérêts, saisir le juge pour être autorisé à accomplir seul un acte déterminé ou provoquer l’ouverture de la tutelle.

Si le curateur refuse son assistance à un acte pour lequel son concours est requis, la personne en curatelle peut demander au juge l’autorisation de l’accomplir seule.
