The proviso of the preceding article does not apply to property which a third person has given to the child gratuitously with the expression of a contrary intention.

If a third person has given property to a child gratuitously, expressing an intention that the parent exercising the parental power shall not manage it, such property does not fall under the parental management.

If in such case the third person has not designated a manager, a manager must be appointed by the court on the application of the child, of one of his relatives, or of the public procurator.

The same applies, if the powers of a manager designated by the third person cease, or a change of such manager becomes necessary, and the third person does not designate another manager.

In the case of the preceding two paragraphs the provisions of Arts. 27–29 apply correspondingly.

In case of the management of the child’s property by a parent, and in the case mentioned in the preceding article, the provisions of Arts. 654 and 655 apply correspondingly.

Obligations arising between the parent who has exercised the parental power or a member of the family council and a child, from the management of the latter’s property, are extinguished by prescription after five years from the time when the power of management ceased.
