Art. 4569.Post-Judgment Monitoring and Reporting

An interdiction judgment does not end the court's oversight of the case; it starts a period of ongoing monitoring. Article 4569 requires two separate reporting tracks, reflecting that curatorship, like tutorship, can be divided between property and person under Article 4069. A curator responsible for the interdict's affairs files an account, and the contents and cost rules from Articles 4393 and 4398 -- borrowed from tutorship accounting -- apply to it. A curator responsible for the interdict's person instead files a personal report describing the interdict's location and condition.

Both filings recur annually, again upon termination of the curator's office or responsibilities, and at any other time the court orders. At the time of filing, the curator has to mail copies of the account or personal report to the undercurator and to any successor curator by first-class mail, keeping the people charged with oversight, or with picking up the role next, informed as a matter of course.

The court's own supervisory role does not end with the judgment either. Article 4569 lets the court appoint an examiner at any time to review an account or personal report, interview the interdict, the curator, or the undercurator, or otherwise investigate, and lets the court appoint an attorney for the interdict at any time -- tools available for as long as the interdiction remains in place, not just at the outset of the case.
