Petition #20883321

Abstract

The petitioners are George Des Londes and Cyprien Ricard, both free men of color. They present that they are tutors to two minor children, also free people of color. Des Londes is tutor to Marie Louise Ricard, and Cyprien Ricard is tutor to Paulin Ricard. The petitioners explain that Paulin, Marie Louise, and Clotilde Ricard are the sole children and heirs of their late mother, Marie Louise, widow of the late Maximilien Ricard. Both parents were also free people of color. The petitioners present that Marie Louise Ricard's estate is "unsettled and unliquidated" and that, as tutors, they have the right to claim its administration. They therefore ask the court to cite one "Augustine" Borie, also a free man of color and "curator ad bona" of Clotilde Ricard, to appear before the court and show cause as to why the administration could not be granted jointly.

Result: Granted.
