Where the contract involves the performance of a juridical act in the interest of the mandatary or of a third person, it may be provided that it cannot be terminated by the mandator, or that it will not terminate upon his death or judicial interdiction. The former provision includes the latter, unless a different intention is evident. Where the contract contains such a provision, the other party may assume that the requirements for the validity of that provision have been fulfilled, unless the contrary must be obvious to him. The Court, upon the request of the mandator, an heir or the guardian of the mandator may, for serious reasons, modify or render inoperative a provision as referred to in this sub-Article.

Where the mandate is terminated by the death or the judicial interdiction of the mandator, the mandatary must nevertheless do all that is required by the circumstances in the interest of the other party.

Where the mandate is terminated by the death of the mandatary, the heirs must do all that is required by the circumstances in the interest of the other party, if they have knowledge of the succession and the mandate. Those in whose service or with whom the mandatary exercised a profession or business have an analogous obligation.
