Article 809-2 of the French Civil Code

As soon as he is appointed, the curator has an estimated inventory drawn up, item by item, of the assets and liabilities of the estate by a judicial auctioneer, bailiff or notary, according to the laws and regulations applicable to these professions, or by a sworn official belonging to the administration in charge of the estate.

Notice to the court, by the curator, of the drawing up of the inventory is subject to the same publicity as the curatorship decision.

Creditors and legatees of sums of money may, on proof of their title, consult the inventory and obtain a copy. They may ask to be notified of any new publicity.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 809-2

Dès sa désignation, le curateur fait dresser un inventaire estimatif, article par article, de l’actif et du passif de la succession par un commissaire-priseur judiciaire, un huissier ou un notaire, selon les lois et règlements applicables à ces professions, ou par un fonctionnaire assermenté appartenant à l’administration chargée du domaine.

L’avis au tribunal, par le curateur, de l’établissement de l’inventaire est soumis à la même publicité que la décision de curatelle.

Les créanciers et légataires de sommes d’argent peuvent, sur justification de leur titre, consulter l’inventaire et en obtenir copie. Ils peuvent demander à être avisés de toute nouvelle publicité.
