Guardianship of a minor

A minor child whose parents cannot exercise parental authority needs a tutor to protect them and to manage their property.

This can happen after the death of the parents or if they are unable to act. A notary can help organize the tutorship: calling the family council, naming the tutor and preparing the documents, while the court may need to confirm certain steps.

• Death or incapacity of both parents
• Property left to the minor
• Appointment of a tutor and of a substitute
• Supervision of how the property is managed
