Article 499 of the French Civil Code

Third parties may inform the judge of acts or omissions by the tutor which appear to them to be prejudicial to the interests of the protected person.

They are not guarantors of the use of the capital. However, if in the course of this use they become aware of acts or omissions that manifestly compromise the interests of the protected person, they shall notify the judge.

Third-party opposition against the authorisations of the family council or the judge may only be exercised by the creditors of the protected person and in the event of fraud against their rights.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 499

Les tiers peuvent informer le juge des actes ou omissions du tuteur qui leur paraissent de nature à porter préjudice aux intérêts de la personne protégée.

Ils ne sont pas garants de l’emploi des capitaux. Toutefois, si à l’occasion de cet emploi ils ont connaissance d’actes ou omissions qui compromettent manifestement l’intérêt de la personne protégée, ils en avisent le juge.

La tierce opposition contre les autorisations du conseil de famille ou du juge ne peut être exercée que par les créanciers de la personne protégée et en cas de fraude à leurs droits.
