Consequences of unjustified refusal

(1) A person who refuses to assume the guardianship without a reason is, if they are at fault, responsible for the damage that the ward suffers as a result of the appointment of the guardian being delayed.

(2) If the family court declares that the refusal is unjustified, the person who refused, notwithstanding the remedies to which they are entitled, is to provisionally assume the guardianship at the requirement of the family court.
