Question juridique clé
Whether the claim for accounting and transfer of the ward’s estate is governed by federal law for purposes of federal appeal admissibility.
Solution extraite
No. The guardian’s duties toward the ward, including accounting and surrender of the estate, are governed by cantonal guardianship law.
Motifs extraits
The claims arise from the guardian’s official functions. The fact that the plaintiff reached majority does not remove the matter from cantonal law, because the duty to render the final account and hand over the estate is itself part of guardianship law.
