Article 812-2 of the French Civil Code

The mandate is free of charge unless otherwise agreed.

If remuneration is provided for, it must be expressly stated in the mandate. It corresponds to a share of the fruits and revenues received by the estate and resulting from the management or administration of the mandatary. In the event of insufficient or no fruits and income, it may be supplemented by a capital sum or take the form of a lump sum.

Le mandat est gratuit s’il n’y a convention contraire.

S’il est prévu une rémunération, celle-ci doit être expressément déterminée dans le mandat. Elle correspond à une part des fruits et revenus perçus par la succession et résultant de la gestion ou de l’administration du mandataire. En cas d’insuffisance ou d’absence de fruits et revenus, elle peut être complétée par un capital ou prendre la forme d’un capital.
