Frequently Asked Questions
- Do the two types vest in one person?
- Usually yes — the father naturally holds both. But they may be judicially separated: the father retains person-guardianship while the judge appoints a financial custodian if mismanagement of funds is proven.
- Do the guardian's powers differ by type?
- Yes; person-guardianship covers major decisions without interfering with the custodian's daily care. Funds-guardianship requires court permission for major transactions (sale of real estate, mortgage).
- When can funds-guardianship be removed without person-guardianship?
- If mismanagement of the minor's funds is proven (extravagance, embezzlement, bankruptcy), the court strips funds-guardianship and appoints a custodian, while person-guardianship remains with the father.
