Art. 4301 Purpose of sale or exchange

A tutor is someone who manages a child's property and legal matters, usually a parent or guardian appointed by the court. If a child owns property, either fully or as a partial owner along with other people, the tutor can sell or trade that property. This applies no matter what the reason for the sale or trade is.

However, the tutor cannot just decide to do this on their own. They must first get permission from the court, following the process laid out in Article 4271. This step protects the child's interests by making sure a judge reviews and approves the sale or exchange before it happens.
