The future protection mandate is published by an entry in a special register, the procedures and access to which are regulated by decree in the Conseil d’Etat.
The future protection mandate is subject to the provisions of articles 1984 to 2010 which are not incompatible with those of this section.
Where the mandate extends to the protection of the person, the rights and obligations of the mandatary are defined by the articles 457-1 to 459-2. Any stipulation to the contrary is deemed unwritten.

Any interested party may apply to the guardianship judge to contest the implementation of the mandate or to obtain a ruling on the terms and conditions of its execution.
The judge who terminates the mandate may open a legal protection measure under the conditions and in accordance with the procedures laid down in sections 1 to 4 of this chapter.

The mandatary responsible for administering the protected person’s assets has an inventory made of them when the measure is opened.
