24. A dative tutorship exercised by the father or mother alone on 1 January 1994 may, by simple agreement of the parents in writing or, where there is no such agreement, by decision of the court, be converted to a legal tutorship conferred on both parents. The parents must notify the Public Curator of the conversion.
Where a dative tutorship is exercised by a third person, it may, upon an application to the court by one or both of the parents, be converted to a legal tutorship conferred on one or both of the parents, as the case may be.
