Section IV.
Termination of the Guardianship.

937.

When the functions of a guardian cease, the guardian or his heir must within two months render an account of his management. Such time, however, may be extended by the family council.

938.

The account of the guardianship must be made up in the presence of the supervisor.

If the guardian is changed, the approval of the family council must be obtained to the account of the guardianship.

939.

If a minor after coming of age and before the completion of the guardian’s account makes any contract with the guardian or his heir, he may rescind it. The same applies to a unilateral juristic act, which he does toward the guardian or his heir.

In such case the provisions of Arts. 19 and 121–126 apply correspondingly.

940.

A guardian is liable for interest upon any amount which he is bound to pay over to the ward, and the ward for interest upon any amount which he is bound to pay to the guardian, from the time of the completion of the account.
