Curatorship and the winding up of banking\u00a0institutions is provided for under Part X of the Banking Act (Chapter 24:20). Curatorship\u00a0incorporates many of the fundamental provisions of\u00a0judicial management.<\/p>

Types of curators<\/strong><\/p>

There are typically three types of curators, namely:<\/p>

  1. Curator\u00a0ad litem\u00a0<\/em>\u2013 a curator for litigation. This curator litigates on behalf of the patient;<\/li>
  2. Curator\u00a0bonis<\/em>\u2013 a curator of goods. This curator protects the patient\u2019s financial and proprietary interests; and<\/li>
  3. Curator\u00a0ad personam\u00a0<\/em>\u2013 a curator for the person. This curator sees to the patient\u2019s daily living needs, for example, needs arising at a care facility where the patient may reside.<\/li><\/ol>

    Who is susceptible to curatorship?<\/strong><\/p>

    Any person incapable of managing their own affairs may be placed under curatorship. It could be that the person is mentally ill or physically disabled; it could also be that the person has a gambling addiction or a substance dependency and as a result thereof squanders his estate.<\/p>

    In matrimonial matters, curators could be used to safeguard the interests of minor children, where such interests often form the very dispute between parents and which may not always be sufficiently protected by an overworked family advocate.<\/p>

    A person who is\u00a0compis mentis\u00a0<\/em>(in other words, a person with full mental capacity), but incapable of managing his own financial affairs may be declared a prodigal. In such an instance, a curator\u00a0bonis<\/em>\u00a0may be appointed without the need for a curator\u00a0ad litem<\/em>. This is particularly useful in awards for damages where the amount awarded needs to be protected, but the person is of sound mind.<\/p>

    What is the process?<\/strong><\/p>

    Initially, a request for the application of curatorship is brought by a friend, family member or care-giver. In some cases, an institution may bring the application.<\/p>

    In accordance with Rule 57 of the Uniform Rules of Court, the High Court is then requested to make an order declaring the patient to be of unsound mind and incapable of managing his own affairs. Supporting affidavits by two medical practitioners, of which one must be a psychiatrist, must be provided.<\/p>

    The Court will then appoint a curator\u00a0ad litem<\/em>. This person will generally be an Advocate or an Attorney nominated by the person bringing the application, whose duty will be to represent the patient and compile a report on the investigation into possible curatorship appointment candidates. The findings will then be presented to the Master of the High Court, as well as the Court.<\/p>

    The curator\u00a0ad litem<\/em>\u00a0is also responsible for recommending the appointment of a curator\u00a0bonis<\/em>\u00a0or\u00a0ad personam<\/em>. The curator\u00a0ad litem\u2019s<\/em>\u00a0report is filed with the Master of the High Court who files a report either refusing or accepting the curator\u00a0ad litem\u2019s<\/em>\u00a0findings. If the Master approves the appointment, he will give a list of the powers to be held by the curator. The matter is then set down again for hearing and a final order will be granted by the judge.<\/p>

    It is imperative to remember that in South Africa, there is no legal enduring power of attorney. Thus, if the patient has given a family member or a friend a power of attorney to act on his behalf, this power of attorney falls away if the patient\u2019s mental capacity diminishes below the legal threshold. Should this person continue to act in terms of the power of attorney, their actions amount to fraud.<\/p>
