Title IX — Parental Authority
Article 225
ELI5— what this means for you
Parents are the legal administrators of their minor children's property. BUT parents cannot sell, mortgage, encumber, or dispose of the child's property without court approval. The parents merely manage it — they do not own it. This protects children from losing their inheritance or personal property to irresponsible parents.
Key point
Parents manage a child's property but cannot sell it without court authorization. The child is the owner; the parent is merely administrator.
