If the minor is solvent, the costs of the proceedings followed in matters of guardianship shall be borne by the minor and recovery thereof shall be pursued in accordance with the procedures and under the guarantees provided for in matters of criminal fines.
The guardianship judge, or the court subsequently seised, may, however, decide that another party shall bear the costs.
If the minor does not appear to have sufficient resources, the guardianship judge establishes this inadequacy by order; the costs are then advanced and recovered as in the case of legal costs.
The same rules apply in the case of protection schemes for adults.
