In Scots law and Roman-Dutch law, a curator ''ad litem'' is a legal representative appointed by a court to represent, during legal proceedings, the best interests of a person who lacks the mental capacity to make decisions for themselves. A curator may be appointed for a child or for a person who is mentally or physically incapacitated. The corresponding office in English common law is that of guardian ''ad litem''. The difference between a curator ''ad litem'' and an ordinary legal representative is that the curator does not have to follow the client's instructions, but must independently act in their best interest. In Scotland curators ''ad litem'' are usually solicitors; in South Africa they are usually advocates. ==See also== *Ad litem *Legal guardian *Guardian ad litem *Curator bonis 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Curator ad litem」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
