# Certain succession representatives; power of attorney

Any person confirmed as a testamentary executor, or appointed dative testamentary executor, provisional administrator, or administrator of a succession may, by power of attorney, designate a person to manage in his stead. The mandatary may substitute another person to manage in his stead but only if the procuration empowers him to substitute.
