English term or phrase: custodian
En el texto aparecen ambas opciones: GUARDIAN Y CUSTODIAN. Guardian lo traducimos como TUTOR en Argentina. Por lo tanto, custodian ¿será curador? Custodio no es una opción en el código civil argentino hasta donde pude investigar.

Explanation:
DIFFERENCE IN GUARDIANSHIP AND CUSTODIAN
Custody and guardianship are two types of legal arrangements under which an adult assumes legal authority over and responsibility for the care of someone who cannot care for his own basic needs. Different types of custody and guardianship exist and laws vary by state. The most important difference between custody and guardianship relates to the degree of authority and responsibility vested in the caregiver.

BASICS
Parents are considered the natural custodians of their children. As such, courts typically do not deny parents custody except occasionally during divorce proceedings or when a parent is found to be unfit. A guardian is normally appointed for a child when both parents are unavailable or unfit, or for an adult if he is mentally or physically disabled to the extent he cannot provide for his own basic needs. Custodians are never appointed for adults. The legal standard for appointing either a custodian or a guardian is the "best interests" of the ward.

AUTHORITY
A person with legal custody over a child, even if someone other than a parent (a stepmother, for example), exercises broad authority over that child equivalent to the responsibilities traditionally held by a parent . A guardian's authority, by contrast, may be limited as circumstances dictate – for example, a guardian's authority may be limited to making medical treatment decisions on behalf of a child. Even if a guardian is appointed for a child, a parent may retain custody rights, such as visitation, which cannot be overruled by the guardian. The authority of a guardian over a disabled adult is limited to the least restrictive authority necessary to provide for the adult's best interests.

La principal función del curador es la de cuidar a la persona y los bienes de la persona incapaz, y tratar de que recupere su salud. Las rentas de los bienes de la persona protegida deben ser destinadas preferentemente a ese fin.
