SB 62 Engrossed 2021 Regular Session Milligan
Present law provides for the management of affairs of the interdict and provides that the
relationship between the interdict and the curator is the same as that between a minor and
the minor's tutor.
Present law provides for the procedure for investing, reinvesting, or withdrawing funds on
behalf of a minor and the procedure for obtaining court approval of payments made on
behalf of the minor.
Proposed law retains present law but provides that a curator shall have authority to access
deposit accounts held in the name of the interdict and authority to establish and maintain
deposit accounts in the name of the "curator on behalf of the interdict", unless the letters of
curatorship expressly limit such authority.
Effective August 1, 2021.
