Art. 4236 Undertutor, grounds for disqualification, revocation, or removal

An undertutor is a person appointed to watch over a tutor's handling of a minor's affairs and step in if there's a conflict of interest. This rule explains when an undertutor can be disqualified, removed, or can step down from that role.

Most of the same rules that apply to disqualifying, removing, or revoking a tutor's appointment also apply to an undertutor. The one exception is owing money to the minor. That specific ground does not apply to undertutors the way it applies to tutors.

An undertutor can also quit, but only if the court agrees. Even after the court approves the resignation, the undertutor must keep doing the job until someone else is appointed and officially takes over. This makes sure the minor always has someone watching over their interests, without any gap in coverage.
