You are parents or a dative tutor

You are the legal tutor of a minor child, in your capacity as the child's parent, and the child has a patrimony exceeding $25,000 in value. Or you are the child's dative tutor and your tutorship applies to their property. Under the Civil Code of Québec, you are responsible for:

ensuring the child's assets are protected until the child reaches the age of majority or is emancipated;
representing the child in exercising their civil rights;
reporting on your administration to a tutorship council and the Curateur public.

This section give more details about how to fulfil these responsibilities and explains what powers and obligations you have as administrator of this property.

Because tutorship to property is a LEGAL PROTECTION MEASURE, the child's interests should be the sole concern guiding your administration.

Advice and forms are also provided to help you perform your duties in accordance with the law.

You are a parent and the child's patrimony is worth $25,000 or less

The explanations and advice in this section may still be helpful to you because, as tutor, you have the same obligation to

act as the child's legal representative;
protect the child's patrimony;
give the child a final administration report when they reach majority (the forms for tutors whose administration is supervised by the Curateur public are a good source of information about how to structure your financial information, and make it easier to draw up the final report).

However, because your administration is not subject to supervision by a tutorship council or the Curateur public, you will find the subsection Protection of property (Understanding tutorship to the property of a minor) more relevant
