Article 436 of the French Civil Code

The mandate by which the protected person has entrusted another person with the administration of his property continues to have effect during the safeguard of justice unless it is revoked or suspended by the guardianship judge, the mandatary being heard or called.

In the absence of a mandate, the rules of business management apply.

Those who are entitled to request the opening of a curatorship or guardianship are obliged to perform the conservatory acts essential to the preservation of the protected person’s assets as soon as they are aware of both their urgency and the opening of the safeguard measure. The same provisions apply to the person or establishment housing the person placed under safeguard.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 436

Le mandat par lequel la personne protégée a chargé une autre personne de l’administration de ses biens continue à produire ses effets pendant la sauvegarde de justice à moins qu’il ne soit révoqué ou suspendu par le juge des tutelles, le mandataire étant entendu ou appelé.

En l’absence de mandat, les règles de la gestion d’affaires sont applicables.

Ceux qui ont qualité pour demander l’ouverture d’une curatelle ou d’une tutelle sont tenus d’accomplir les actes conservatoires indispensables à la préservation du patrimoine de la personne protégée dès lors qu’ils ont connaissance tant de leur urgence que de l’ouverture de la mesure de sauvegarde. Les mêmes dispositions sont applicables à la personne ou à l’établissement qui héberge la personne placée sous sauvegarde.
