A minor may be emancipated to govern himself or to administer his property, or to the sole effect of administering the latter, by his father, his mother, or the father and mother jointly, or by the one exercising the patria potestas over the minor, when he attains age eighteen. This emancipation shall take place by the declaration of the father or of the mother, or of both when they exercise jointly the patria potestas, executed before a notary public in the presence of two witnesses and with the consent of the minor. It shall be entered in the civil registry and shall meanwhile have no effect against third parties. History —Civil Code, 1930, § 233; June 2, 1976, No. 99, p. 295, eff. June 2, 1976.
