tuteur


Explanation:
On parle souvent de "tuteur", dont le Larousse donne comme définition:

1. Personne chargée de surveiller les intérêts d'un mineur non émancipé ou d'un incapable majeur placé sous le régime de la tutelle.

Par contre, comme le dit Géraldine, plus de contexte nous aiderait beaucoup !
