The guardian, in the presence of the subrogated guardian if one has been appointed, shall draw up an inventory of the protected person’s property, which shall be sent to the judge within three months of the opening of the guardianship for tangible movable property, and within six months for other property, together with the provisional budget.
He may obtain any information and documents required to draw up the inventory from any public or private person, without being subject to professional or banking secrecy.
When the judge considers it necessary, he may appoint a judicial auctioneer, bailiff or notary as soon as the measure is opened to carry out, at the protected person’s expense, an inventory of the tangible movable property, within the period provided for in the first paragraph.
If the inventory has not been drawn up or proves to be incomplete or inaccurate, the protected person and, after his or her death, his or her heirs may prove the value and consistency of his or her property by any means.
If there is a delay in transmitting the inventory, the judge may appoint a judicial auctioneer, a bailiff, a notary or a legal representative for the protection of adults to carry it out at the tutor’s expense.
