Explanation of Article 10
This article addresses the determination of the domicile of those who are legally incompetent, partially incompetent, missing, and absent, which is the third type of domicile for a natural person. It is considered an exception to the general rule regarding domicile; the place of residence of the aforementioned individuals is not taken into account in determining the domicile considered under the provisions of this system. The justification for this is clear; the whereabouts of the missing and absent are unknown, and as for those who are legally incompetent or partially incompetent, their place of residence has no impact on their actions and obligations. Considering the domicile of their representative serves their interest, the interest of their representative, and those dealing with them.
The article then establishes a special rule regarding domicile for a "partially competent person who is authorized," which refers to someone who has reached the age of fifteen and whose guardian, trustee, or the court has entrusted them with a portion of their assets and authorized them to engage in financial transactions. Such a person may have a special domicile for these transactions; the rationale is that they are akin to someone who has reached the age of majority in the transactions they are authorized to conduct.
It is worth noting that if a person of unknown parentage is not described by any of the characteristics mentioned in the article, their legal status does not differ from that of a natural person concerning domicile.
