The President of the Judicial Court may prescribe or authorise any urgent measures required by the common interest.
He may, in particular, authorise an undivided co-owner to collect from the debtors of the undivided co-ownership or from the depositories of undivided funds a provision intended to meet urgent needs, prescribing, if necessary, the conditions of use. This authorisation does not entail the surviving spouse or heir taking on any capacity.
He may also either appoint a joint owner as administrator, obliging him or her to give security where appropriate, or appoint a receiver. The articles 1873-5 to 1873-9 of this code apply as appropriate to the powers and obligations of the administrator, if they are not otherwise defined by the judge.
