Whether the tutelary authority could still approve a guardian’s life-insurance contract after the ward’s death and the lifting of the curatorship.
Once the ward has died, the tutelary authority is no longer competent to rule on approval of the act; the consent right passes to the heirs under inheritance law.
Acts needing approval under Art. 421 CC are not void but remain suspended until approval or refusal. If the protected person dies before approval, the power to consent passes to the heirs; if all heirs repudiate and bankruptcy of the estate is declared, the bankrupt estate administration must decide in liquidation.
