Legal Definitions - custode amovendo

Term: Custode Amovendo
Definition: Custode Amovendo is a Latin term that means "removal of a guardian." It refers to the legal process of removing a guardian from their position of authority over a person or property. This can happen if the guardian is found to be unfit or if they are no longer needed. For example, if a child's parent dies and the child is left in the care of a guardian, but the guardian is found to be neglectful or abusive, the court may order custode amovendo to remove the guardian and appoint a new one. Another example is if a person becomes capable of managing their own affairs, the court may order custode amovendo to remove their guardian.
