US Am. guardador en régimen de administración / patr. y fiduc. / de los bienes raíces del pupilo

Patr. y fiduc. > patrimonial y fiducaria.

It's an idea to post the country or island of origin, less anyone should receive the mistaken impression that this archaic pre-1925 UK term is still in current legal use outside of the USA where there is no need for the guardain to 'render military service' in return for the socage.

The bienes raíces need not be a latifundio and the owner a latifundista - terms that may be familiar to Latin American readers.
Example sentence:

AmE: The guardian in socage was the one who had custody of a minor's lands and person. ... This was informal, and if the kids got raised, didn't starve and didn't run wild, nobody took a second look.

PROHIBICIONES DE LOS GUARDADORES>. No será lícito al tutor o curador, sin previo decreto judicial, enajenar los bienes raíces del pupilo
