32. The Public Curator may, upon motion and without consulting the family council, demand the removal of a tutor or curator on the grounds set out in the Civil Code or for contravention of section 31, or where the annual report of a tutor or curator or the inquiry held under section 21 gives serious cause to believe the property under tutorship or curatorship may be dissipated.
Upon removal or, if the court so orders, upon the demand for removal, and until the appointment of a new tutor or curator, the Public Curator shall, exofficio, act as tutor or curator.
He shall have, over the person and the property of the incapable person or, if a tutor or curator to the person is appointed, over the property only, the powers and obligations of a tutor; however, he shall not have the custody of the person.
