# Appointment and qualification of provisional curator; functions, duties, authority

A. On the application of an interested person or on its own motion, pending the appointment of a curator for an absent person, the court may appoint a qualified person as provisional curator, if such appointment is necessary.

B. A provisional curator is subject to the same requirements as to qualification, oath, security, and detailed descriptive list, and has the same functions, duties, and authority, as a provisional tutor. He shall continue in office until his appointment is terminated by the court or until a curator has been qualified.
