Article 384 of the French Civil Code

Property given or bequeathed to the minor on condition that it is administered by a third party is not subject to legal administration.

The third party administrator has the powers conferred on him by the gift, the will or, failing that, those of a legal administrator.

When the third-party administrator refuses this function or is in one of the situations provided for in articles 395 and 396, the guardianship judge shall appoint an ad hoc administrator to replace him or her.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 384

Ne sont pas soumis à l’administration légale les biens donnés ou légués au mineur sous la condition qu’ils soient administrés par un tiers.

Le tiers administrateur a les pouvoirs qui lui sont conférés par la donation, le testament ou, à défaut, ceux d’un administrateur légal.

Lorsque le tiers administrateur refuse cette fonction ou se trouve dans une des situations prévues aux articles 395 et 396, le juge des tutelles désigne un administrateur ad hoc pour le remplacer.
