Article 531 of the French Code of civil procedure

If, during the time limit for appeal, there is a change in the capacity of a party to whom the judgment had been notified, the time limit is interrupted. This time limit is also interrupted by the effect of the judgment pronouncing the safeguard, the judicial reorganisation or the judicial liquidation in cases where it entails assistance or divestment of the debtor.

The time limit runs by virtue of a notification made to the person who is now entitled to receive it.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 531

S’il se produit, au cours du délai du recours, un changement dans la capacité d’une partie à laquelle le jugement avait été notifié, le délai est interrompu. Ce délai est également interrompu par l’effet du jugement qui prononce la sauvegarde, le redressement judiciaire ou la liquidation judiciaire dans les causes où il emporte assistance ou dessaisissement du débiteur.

Le délai court en vertu d’une notification faite à celui qui a désormais qualité pour la recevoir.
