(1) A minor has a general legal hypothec over the property of the parent to whose authority he is subject in respect of the liability contracted by such parent in the administration of the property of the minor.

(2) Such hypothec arises from the day on which the administration of such property vests in the parent.

(3) Where a parent contracts another marriage, the said hypothec extends over the property of the step-parent as from the day of the marriage, if the parent continues in the administration without the authority required by law.
