Art. 4171 Oath

Here's a plain English summary:

Before someone can start acting as a tutor (the person legally responsible for managing a child's affairs), they must first take an oath. In this oath, they promise to do their job honestly and carefully.

If the tutor is a natural tutor (usually a parent), the oath must also include a list of every parish where they own land or property that can't be moved, like a house or land. This helps the court keep track of the tutor's property in case it becomes relevant to the case later.

Until this oath is taken, the person cannot officially start handling the child's affairs or making decisions on their behalf.
