Art. 4304 Additional bond prior to sale of immovables

If a tutor (the person legally responsible for managing a minor's property) wants to sell real estate that belongs to the minor, the court can step in first and ask for extra financial protection. This means the judge can require the tutor to put up additional money or a bond before giving the green light for the sale to happen.

The court decides how much this extra security should be. This rule exists to protect the minor's interests. Selling property is a big deal, and the court wants to make sure the tutor is financially accountable and that the minor's money or assets are protected throughout the process.

In simple terms, this gives the judge a way to add a layer of financial safety before a minor's property gets sold, making sure the person in charge has skin in the game and reducing the risk of the minor losing out.
