Article 492 of the French Civil Code

The mandate drawn up under private signature is dated and signed by the principal. It is either countersigned by a lawyer or drawn up in accordance with a model defined by decree in the Conseil d’Etat.

The agent accepts the mandate by affixing his signature.

As long as the mandate has not been executed, the principal may amend or revoke it in the same forms and the agent may renounce it by notifying the principal of his renunciation.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 492

Le mandat établi sous seing privé est daté et signé de la main du mandant. Il est soit contresigné par un avocat, soit établi selon un modèle défini par décret en Conseil d’Etat.

Le mandataire accepte le mandat en y apposant sa signature.

Tant que le mandat n’a pas reçu exécution, le mandant peut le modifier ou le révoquer dans les mêmes formes et le mandataire peut y renoncer en notifiant sa renonciation au mandant.
