Article 430 of the French Civil Code

The application to open the measure may be made to the judge by the person who needs to be protected or, as the case may be, by his or her spouse, the partner with whom he or she has entered into a civil solidarity pact or his or her cohabiting partner, unless life together has ceased between them, or by a relative or ally, a person who has a close and stable relationship with the adult, or the person who is exercising a legal protection measure in respect of him or her.

It may also be presented by the public prosecutor either ex officio or at the request of a third party.

Original in French 🇫🇷

La demande d’ouverture de la mesure peut être présentée au juge par la personne qu’il y a lieu de protéger ou, selon le cas, par son conjoint, le partenaire avec qui elle a conclu un pacte civil de solidarité ou son concubin, à moins que la vie commune ait cessé entre eux, ou par un parent ou un allié, une personne entretenant avec le majeur des liens étroits et stables, ou la personne qui exerce à son égard une mesure de protection juridique.

Elle peut être également présentée par le procureur de la République soit d’office, soit à la demande d’un tiers.
