第三条（禁治産及び準禁治産の宣告等に関する経過措置）
A declaration of interdiction under the provisions of the Former Act is deemed to be a decision for commencement of guardianship under the provisions of the New Act, and the interdicted person who received that declaration of interdiction and that person's guardian and guardian's supervisor are deemed to be the adult ward who received that decision for commencement of guardianship and that person's adult guardian and supervisor for the guardian of an adult.

With respect to the application of the provisions of the Civil Code to quasi-interdicted persons other than the quasi-interdicted persons prescribed in the preceding paragraph and their curators, the provisions then in force continue to govern, except for the provisions amending Articles 846, 974 and 1009.
