Article 498 of the French Civil Code

The capital accruing to the protected person is paid directly into an account opened in his or her sole name and mentioning the guardianship measure, with an establishment authorised to receive funds from the public.

When the guardianship measure is entrusted to persons or services in charge of health establishments and social or medico-social establishments subject to public accounting rules, this payment obligation is carried out under conditions laid down by decree in the Conseil d’Etat.
