Article 907 of the French Civil Code

A minor, although he has reached the age of sixteen years, shall not, even by will, dispose for the benefit of his guardian.

A minor, who has reached the age of majority or has become emancipated, shall not dispose, either by gift inter vivos or by will, for the benefit of the person who has been his guardian, unless the final account of the guardianship has first been rendered and discharged.

Excepted in the above two cases are the ascendants of minors who are or have been their tutors.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 907

Le mineur, quoique parvenu à l’âge de seize ans, ne pourra, même par testament, disposer au profit de son tuteur.

Le mineur, devenu majeur ou émancipé, ne pourra disposer, soit par donation entre vifs, soit par testament, au profit de celui qui aura été son tuteur, si le compte définitif de la tutelle n’a été préalablement rendu et apuré.

Sont exceptés, dans les deux cas ci-dessus, les ascendants des mineurs, qui sont ou qui ont été leurs tuteurs.
