When one of the spouses takes over the management of the other’s property, with the latter’s knowledge, and nevertheless without opposition on his part, he is deemed to have received a tacit mandate, covering acts of administration and management, but not acts of disposal.
This spouse is answerable to the other for his management as a mandatary. He is, however, only accountable for existing fruits; for those he may have neglected to collect or consumed fraudulently, he can only be sought within the limit of the last five years.
If one of the spouses has interfered in the management of the other’s property in defiance of an established opposition, he is liable for all the consequences of his interference, and accountable without limitation for all the fruits he has collected, neglected to collect or consumed fraudulently.
