Article 490 of the French Civil Code

By way of derogation from Article 1988, the mandate, even if conceived in general terms, includes all property acts that the guardian has the power to perform alone or with authorisation.

However, the mandatary may only perform an act of disposition gratuitously with the authorisation of the guardianship judge.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 490

Par dérogation à l’article 1988, le mandat, même conçu en termes généraux, inclut tous les actes patrimoniaux que le tuteur a le pouvoir d’accomplir seul ou avec une autorisation.

Toutefois, le mandataire ne peut accomplir un acte de disposition à titre gratuit qu’avec l’autorisation du juge des tutelles.
