A. The court may authorize a curator, in the name and on behalf of an interdict who has no direct descendants and no spouse, to make donations inter vivos of money from surplus funds of the interdict to each of the brothers and sisters of the interdict and to each of the direct descendants of the brothers and sisters of the interdict, or to trusts in which they are the only principal and income beneficiaries, provided that there is no known testamentary disposition to the contrary. Annual donations per donee shall not exceed fourteen thousand dollars or the maximum amount that may be excluded from federal gift taxation pursuant to 26 U.S.C. §2503(b), whichever is greater. The total amount donated annually to each of the brothers and sisters of the interdict and to each of the direct descendants of the brothers and sisters of the interdict, or to trusts therefor, shall be equal by roots from the parents of the interdict.
B.(1) The court may authorize such donations only when the procedure prescribed by Code of Civil Procedure Articles 4271 and 4566 is complied with and the proposed donations will not materially impair the financial condition of the interdict and are not likely to deprive him of sufficient funds to care for his future needs and support.
(2) To establish that the proposed donations will not deprive the interdict of sufficient funds to provide for his future needs and support, the curator must satisfy the court that:
(a) Following the proposed donation, the total amount of the difference between the fair market value of the interdict's estate and his total liabilities will exceed six hundred thousand dollars; and
(b) The total fair market value of the interdict's estate, after subtracting the value of the proposed donations, is not less than six hundred thousand dollars.
C. When all of the conditions in Subsections A and B have been met, the court may authorize such donations to be made to the curator individually, if he is a brother or sister or a direct descendant of a brother or sister of the interdict, on the recommendation of the undercurator, concurred in by the undercurator ad hoc appointed by the court.
