Portuguese term or phrase: Protutor
'E se lhe arranjássemos um protutor?'

This is a conversation about someone becoming a legal guardian of his brothers.

I found this Portuguese explanation on http://www.dicionarioinformal.com.br/significado/protutor/10...
'Significado de Protutor:
O protutor(figura criada no art. 1742 do cc/2002) é um auxiliar do juiz na fiscalização do tutor, e esse responde solidariamente com o tutor por eventuais danos causados ao pupilo.
O juiz de ofício ou a requerimento pode nomear, além do tutor, um protutor. Eventualmente, o juiz pode fixar remuneração em favor do protutor.
Exemplo do uso da palavra Protutor:
Um juiz nomeia uma pessoa A como tutor de um menor e para fiscalizar as ações deste nomeia B, ou seja, B é protutor com a função de fiscalizar o tutor A.'

Does anyone know the official term in English?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Explanation:
Dicionário Jurídico - M Chaves de Mello
Protutor (in English) - aquele que está no lugar de um tutor

http://www.supremelaw.org/ref/dict/bldp2.htm



Example sentence(s):
  • An action also lay against a protutor (a person who acted as tutor but not by a valid appointment), and it could be initiated even by third persons who had suffered loss due to the intervention of such a one not qualified to give auctoritas.
  • PROTUTOR, civil law. He who not being the tutor of a pupil or minor, has administered his property or affairs as if he had been, whether he thought himself legally invested with the authority of a tutor, or not.
