When the measures implemented pursuant to articles L. 271-1 to L. 271-5 of the Code de l’action sociale et des familles (Social Action and Family Code) for the benefit of an adult person have not enabled the person to manage their social benefits satisfactorily and their health or safety is compromised as a result, the guardianship judge may order a legal support measure designed to restore the person’s autonomy in the management of their resources.
This measure need not be ordered in respect of a married person where the application of the rules relating to the respective rights and duties of spouses and matrimonial property regimes allows for satisfactory management of the person’s social benefits by his or her spouse.
