Practice question
A guardian ad litem is appointed in a proper Article 2182 action. Claimant then demands payment from that representative’s personal assets solely because of the appointment. No personal wrong or other liability basis is alleged. Which is sound?
- Every representative guarantees full payment.
- Appointment alone does not replace the actor’s own property with the representative’s personal assets.
- The appointment transfers title to the actor’s property.
- The representative automatically becomes the direct wrongdoer.
- The claimant need not prove actionable damage.
