Art. 4233.  Resignation of tutor

A tutor other than a parent of the minor may resign when authorized by the court under Article 4271:

(1)  If subsequent to his appointment as tutor he has been invested with an office or engaged in a service or occupation which excuses him from the obligation of serving as tutor;

(2)  If he has reached the age of seventy years;

(3)  If because of infirmity he has become incapable of discharging the duties of his office; or

(4)  For any other reason which the court in its discretion may deem sufficient.

The resignation by a tutor shall become effective when a successor is appointed, as provided in Article 4237, and when his final account has been filed and homologated.
