French Civil Code
In forceThe protected person's home and the furniture with which it is furnished, whether a principal or secondary residence, are kept at the protected person's disposal for as long as possible.
The power to administer the property mentioned in the first paragraph only allows for precarious enjoyment agreements which cease, despite any provisions or stipulations to the contrary, as soon as the protected person returns to their home.
If it becomes necessary, or if it is in the interests of the protected person, to dispose of rights relating to his home or furniture by alienation, termination or conclusion of a lease, the act is authorised by the judge or by the family council if it has been constituted, without prejudice to any formalities that may be required by the nature of the property. If the purpose of the deed is to admit the person concerned to an institution, the prior opinion of a doctor who does not hold a position or employment in the institution is required. In all cases, mementos, objects of a personal nature, those essential for disabled people or intended for the care of sick people are kept at the disposal of the person concerned, if necessary by the care of the establishment in which the person is accommodated.
