Judgments opening, amending or terminating curatorship or guardianship may not be relied on as against third parties until two months after a mention thereof has been made in the margin of the protected person’s birth certificate in accordance with the procedures laid down by the Code of Civil Procedure.

However, even in the absence of such a mention, they may be relied on as against third parties who have personal knowledge thereof.
