Syllabus

<p>INTERDICT — CURATOR—REMOVAL—APPOINTMENT OP SUCCESSOR.</p> <p>1. The district judge, on the removal of a curator of an interdict from his office by judgment of his court, has the power and authority to appoint some one to take care temporarily -of the person of the interdict, and do all conservatory acts necessary for the protection of her property, subject to revocation by him of the appointment. The law has not affixed any particular designation to the person so to be appointed. The term “provisional curator” as fitly applies as any other; the powers of the person, rather than his title, being the matter requiring consideration. The judge is required, however, at the instance of the undercurator, to convoke a family meeting to recommend a fit and competent person to appointment as a permanent curator to replace the removed curator.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
