Article 1281-1 of the French Code of civil procedure

If it is necessary, outside any enforcement proceedings, to distribute a sum of money between creditors and excluding the case where this sum comes from the sale of an immovable, the most diligent party may appeal in summary proceedings to the president of the judicial court within whose jurisdiction the debtor resides, who shall appoint a person to be responsible for the distribution.

The person responsible for the distribution shall be sequestrator of the funds, unless consignment is ordered.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 1281-1

S’il y a lieu, en dehors de toute procédure d’exécution, de répartir une somme d’argent entre créanciers et hors le cas où cette somme proviendrait de la vente d’un immeuble, la partie la plus diligente peut se pourvoir en référé devant le président du tribunal judiciaire dans le ressort duquel demeure le débiteur, lequel désigne une personne chargée de la distribution.

La personne chargée de la distribution est séquestre des fonds, à moins que la consignation ne soit ordonnée.
