Article 1873-4 of the French Civil Code

An agreement to maintain undivided ownership requires the capacity or power to dispose of the undivided property.

It may, however, be entered into on behalf of a minor, by his legal representative alone; but, in this case, the minor who has come of age may terminate it, regardless of its duration, within one year of coming of age.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 1873-4

La convention tendant au maintien de l’indivision requiert la capacité ou le pouvoir de disposer des biens indivis.

Elle peut, toutefois, être conclue au nom d’un mineur, par son représentant légal seul ; mais, dans ce cas, le mineur devenu majeur peut y mettre fin, quelle qu’en soit la durée, dans l’année qui suit sa majorité.
