A person who, without being incapable of acting himself, needs, for one of the reasons provided for in Article 425, to be assisted or controlled in a continuous manner in the important acts of civil life may be placed under curatorship. Curatorship is ordered only if it is established that legal protection cannot provide sufficient protection. A person who, for one of the reasons provided for in article 425, must…
The judge shall determine the duration of the measure, which may not exceed five years. The judge who issues a guardianship measure may, by specially reasoned decision and on the assent of a doctor registered on the list referred to in Article 431 noting that the alteration of the personal faculties of the person concerned described in article 425 clearly does not appear likely to improve according to scientific knowledge,…
The judge may renew the measure for the same period. However, when the alteration in the personal faculties of the person concerned described in article 425 clearly does not appear likely to improve according to current scientific knowledge, the judge may, by specially reasoned decision and on the advice of a doctor on the list referred to in article 431, renew the measure for a longer period that he determines,…
The measure terminates, in the absence of renewal, on expiry of the time limit set, in the event of a final discharge judgment or in the event of the death of the person concerned.

Judgments opening, amending or terminating curatorship or guardianship may not be relied on as against third parties until two months after a mention thereof has been made in the margin of the protected person’s birth certificate in accordance with the procedures laid down by the Code of Civil Procedure. However, even in the absence of such a mention, they may be relied on as against third parties who have personal…

A curator or tutor is appointed for the protected person under the conditions set out in this paragraph and subject to the powers conferred on the family council if it has been constituted.
The curator or tutor is appointed by the judge. The judge may, in consideration of the situation of the protected person, the abilities of the persons concerned and the size of the assets to be administered, appoint several curators or several tutors to jointly exercise the protective measure. Each curator or tutor is deemed, with regard to third parties, to have received from the others the power to carry out…
The designation by a person of one or more persons to perform the duties of curator or guardian in the event that he or she is placed under curatorship or guardianship is binding on the judge, unless the designated person refuses the assignment or is unable to perform it or if the interests of the protected person require that he or she be removed. In the event of difficulty, the…
Failing an appointment made pursuant to Article 448, the judge shall appoint, as curator or guardian, the spouse of the protected person, the partner with whom he or she has entered into a civil solidarity pact or his or her cohabiting partner, unless life together has ceased between them or some other cause prevents him or her from being entrusted with the measure.
