Article 473 of the French Civil Code

Subject to cases where the law or custom authorises the person under guardianship to act himself, the guardian represents him in all acts of civil life.

However, the judge may, in the opening judgment or subsequently, list certain acts that the person under guardianship will have the capacity to do alone or with the assistance of the guardian.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 473

Sous réserve des cas où la loi ou l’usage autorise la personne en tutelle à agir elle-même, le tuteur la représente dans tous les actes de la vie civile.

Toutefois, le juge peut, dans le jugement d’ouverture ou ultérieurement, énumérer certains actes que la personne en tutelle aura la capacité de faire seule ou avec l’assistance du tuteur.
