At the request of the guardian or subrogated guardian, the bids are received either by a notary appointed for this purpose by the judicial court, or at the auction hearing by a judge appointed by that court.
The competent court is that within whose jurisdiction the person under guardianship resides.
If the property is located in several arrondissements, the court may appoint a notary in each of these arrondissements and give letters rogatory to each of the courts where the property is located.
