The curator may not substitute himself for the person under curatorship to act on his behalf.
However, the curator may, if he finds that the person under curatorship is seriously compromising his interests, apply to the judge for authorisation to perform a specific act alone or cause guardianship to be opened.
If the curator refuses his assistance with an act for which his assistance is required, the person under curatorship may apply to the judge for authorisation to perform it alone.
