Verbatim from the Royal Gazette / Office of the Council of State
English translation
Where a minor has been adjudged incompetent and the Court has appointed as custodian a person other than the person exercising parental power or the guardian, that order removes the person then exercising parental power or the guardian. Where a person who is sui juris and has no spouse is adjudged incompetent or quasi-incompetent, the parents, or the father or the mother, shall be the custodian or the curator, as the case may be, unless the Court orders otherwise.
