Subject to the provisions of article 879, a notary may, under the same conditions as the judge and the prothonotary, convoke and preside over a family council, after having drawn up a deed showing the request which was made to him, together with the declaration of the applicant, both as to his capacity and as to the grounds for and the purpose of the convocation.
