What is a tutorship council?

The tutorship council is a body consisting of a delegation of family members and friends of a minor or an incapacitated person of full age, and has for task to supervise the administration of the tutor or curator. It is composed of three persons appointed by a meeting of relatives, persons connected by marriage or civil union and friends. In some circumstances, the Court may decide that the tutorship council be composed of only one person.
