Article 161

De la Tutelle

Family Law
Titre IX: De la Minorité, de la Tutelle et de l'Émancipation (On Minority, Guardianship, and Emancipation)
Chapitre II: De la Tutelle (On Guardianship)

Le tuteur, élu par le père ou la mère, a la faculté de refuser la tutelle, à moins qu'il ne soit compris dans la classe des personnes auxquelles le conseil de famille, à défaut de l'élection spéciale, paternelle ou maternelle, eût pu déférer cette charge.

Life lesson: A chosen guardian may say no — unless he is someone the family council would have chosen anyway.
Notes: Right of refusal for designated guardians, with an exception: persons who would have been eligible for family-council appointment cannot refuse. Prevents strategic refusals by natural candidates.
