The mandate is limited, as regards the management of assets, to acts that a guardian may perform without authorisation.

If the performance of an act that is subject to authorisation or that is not provided for in the mandate proves to be necessary in the interests of the mandator, the mandatary shall apply to the guardianship judge to have it ordered.
