Spanish term or phrase: carta de tutela
Of course I could write "guardian letter" but I assume there is something that sounds more official.

No obstante, el Tribunal exime a la señora peticionaria de la Fianza Nominal, por ser ésta, madre del incapaz, pero deberá someter el inventario de bienes del incapaz, aunque éste sea negativo, este Tribiunal emitirá la correspondiente carte de tutela.

Explanation:
Hi Michael,

Depending on what kind of "tutelaje" you're talking about you have two options:

Letter of Guardianship or Conservatorship

Guardians and Conservators
The traditional distinction between guardians and conservators is as follows:

Guardians - A guardianship is a legal right given to a person to be responsible for the food, health care, housing, and other necessities of a person deemed fully or partially incapable of providing these necessities for himself or herself.

Conservators - A conservatorship is a legal right given to a person to be responsible for the assets and finances of a person deemed fully or partially incapable of providing these necessities for himself or herself.

agree  Paul Merriam: Another distinction is that "guardians" are usually appointed for minors and "conservators" for persons of legal age. And incidentally, you want a translation from Spanish to English.

guardianship letter, letter of guardianship


Explanation:
You can have a "guardian" of both the person and the estate or different restrictions, and of course it all depends on the law involved (origin not stated - CONTEXT). Here it appears it may be of both the person and the estate.

That said, I think "guardianship" should cover it.

Results 1 - 10 of about 1,900 for "guardianship letter".
Results 1 - 10 of about 578 for "letter of guardianship"
