If the donee is of full age, the acceptance must be made by him or, in his name, by the person founded on his power of attorney, bearing authority to accept the gift made, or a general power to accept the gifts which may have been or may be made.

This power of attorney must be executed before notaries; and a copy of it must be annexed to the minute of the gift, to the minute of the acceptance which would be made by separate deed.
