Replacing a tutor

Once the court has named a tutor, it is their responsibility to take care of the incapacitated person. However, in some situations, it may be necessary for the tutorship council, the Curateur public (public curator) or any other interested person to take steps to have the tutor replaced.

Situations in which the tutor must be replaced

The tutor must be replaced when they fail to perform their duties properly.

It might be, for example, that the tutor:

  • is mistreating the incapacitated person or exploiting them financially,
  • can no longer perform their duties (for example, the tutor has become incapacitated).
