Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appointment of A. as private curator could stand without examining aptitude, training, and available time.
Decisione estratta
The cantonal decision was defective because it did not adequately establish the appointee's aptitude, whether free basic training had been offered, and whether he had sufficient time for the mandate.
Motivazione estratta
Under Art. 400 CC and Art. 40 LVPAE, a private curator may be appointed only if the person has the required abilities and time, and after being offered free basic training. The appellate court failed to review these elements ex officio and did not address all facts relevant to availability.
