Article 387-3 of the French Civil Code

When reviewing the acts mentioned in article 387-1, the judge may, if he considers it essential to safeguard the interests of the minor, in consideration of the composition or value of the assets, the age of the minor or his family situation, decide that an act or a series of acts of disposition will be subject to his prior authorisation.

The matter may be referred to the judge for the same purpose by the parents or one of them, the public prosecutor or any third party with knowledge of acts or omissions that manifestly and substantially compromise the property interests of the minor or of a situation likely to cause serious harm to them.

Third parties who have informed the judge of the situation are not guarantors of the management of the minor’s property by the legal administrator.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 387-3

A l’occasion du contrôle des actes mentionnés à l’article 387-1, le juge peut, s’il l’estime indispensable à la sauvegarde des intérêts du mineur, en considération de la composition ou de la valeur du patrimoine, de l’âge du mineur ou de sa situation familiale, décider qu’un acte ou une série d’actes de disposition seront soumis à son autorisation préalable.

Le juge est saisi aux mêmes fins par les parents ou l’un d’eux, le ministère public ou tout tiers ayant connaissance d’actes ou omissions qui compromettent manifestement et substantiellement les intérêts patrimoniaux du mineur ou d’une situation de nature à porter un préjudice grave à ceux-ci.

Les tiers qui ont informé le juge de la situation ne sont pas garants de la gestion des biens du mineur faite par l’administrateur légal.
