The subrogated guardian supervises the exercise of the guardianship mission and represents the minor when the minor’s interests are in opposition to those of the guardian.
The subrogated guardian is informed and consulted before any important act is carried out by the guardian.
On pain of incurring liability to the minor, he supervises the acts performed by the tutor in that capacity and informs the guardianship judge without delay if he finds any faults in the exercise of the tutelary mission.
He does not automatically replace the tutor in the event of the latter’s cessation of duties; but he is required, under the same responsibility, to bring about the appointment of a new tutor.
