Art. 4563.Inventory and Security

Article 4563 borrows the machinery Title VI already built for tutorship rather than reinventing it for curatorship. The curator must furnish security conditioned on faithfully discharging the office, and the inventory and security rules in Articles 4101 through 4102, 4131 through 4133, and 4136 apply to curatorship of interdicts the same way they apply to tutorship of minors. The Article specifically excludes the provisions establishing special rules for natural tutors and parents, since curatorship of an adult has no equivalent status to a parent's natural tutorship of their own child.

Article 4563 also builds in a practical shortcut. In place of a formal inventory, a sworn detailed descriptive list -- setting forth the fair market value of each item of the interdict's property, sworn to and subscribed by the applicant -- is permitted, unless the court orders a full inventory instead. That option keeps the cost and effort of documenting the interdict's estate proportionate to what the case calls for, echoing the same kind of simplification Title VI provides for small tutorships.
