The Same, Opinions, Book X. The question arose whether parties who are appointed guardians in the place of another, who is absent in the service of the government, would continue in their office if the former should die; or whether application for the appointment of others should be made? Paulus answers that where they are appointed in the place of one who is absent, and the latter does not return, they will continue to hold their office until the ward arrives at the age of puberty.

The Same, Opinions, Book XII. Where a curator is appointed for a minor for any reason whatsoever, he will continue to exercise his curatorship until the minor arrives at the age of puberty. After that time, the minor should request that another curator be appointed for him.

Paulus, Opinions, Book X. I gave it as my opinion that the magistrate himself can be appointed by a resolution of the Decurions.

The Same, Opinions, Book X. Where curators or guardians are appointed in a province, I ask whether money which was lent by them, at interest, in the province, under the condition that it should be paid at Rome, can be paid to them there, when the said curators or guardians did not have the administration of the property in Italy; and if payment is made to them, whether the debtor will be released. Paulus gave it as his opinion that the money which was due to a ward could properly be paid to his guardians or curators who transacted his business, and that those appointed guardians or curators in a province do not usually administer the affairs of their trust in Italy, unless the guardians in the province expressly provide that payment should be made to them at Rome.

Paulus, Opinions, Book X. Paulus says that he can properly be styled a false guardian who is not a guardian at all; or who is appointed for a minor who already has a guardian, or has none; just as is the case of a forged will, which is not a will at all, or a false measure, which in reality is not a measure.
