Article 472 of the French Civil Code

The judge may also, at any time, order enhanced guardianship. In this case, the curator alone collects the income of the person under curatorship from an account opened in the latter’s name. He pays third parties for expenses himself and deposits the surplus in an account left at the disposal of the person concerned or pays it into his hands.

Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 459-2, the judge may authorise the curator alone to enter into a residential lease or accommodation agreement providing accommodation for the protected person.

Enhanced guardianship is subject to the provisions of articles 503and 510 to 515.

Article 472

Le juge peut également, à tout moment, ordonner une curatelle renforcée. Dans ce cas, le curateur perçoit seul les revenus de la personne en curatelle sur un compte ouvert au nom de cette dernière. Il assure lui-même le règlement des dépenses auprès des tiers et dépose l’excédent sur un compte laissé à la disposition de l’intéressé ou le verse entre ses mains.

Sans préjudice des dispositions de l’article 459-2, le juge peut autoriser le curateur à conclure seul un bail d’habitation ou une convention d’hébergement assurant le logement de la personne protégée.

La curatelle renforcée est soumise aux dispositions des articles 503 et 510 à 515.
