]]> The administration of a minor’s assets could be part of the social and family conflict if the guardians or curators did not fulfil their commitments. Between 1501 and 1799, 1,207 lawsuits were recorded in the Crown of Castile in relation to this issue. The casuistic differences between the different jurisdictions meant that, while in the Chancillería de Valladolid the number of lawsuits was concentrated in the 16th century (45.5% of them), decreasing during the 17th and 18th centuries, the Chancillería de Granada suffered an inverse evolution, going from 17.9% in the 16th century to 49.3% in the 18th century. However, both Chancillerías had in common that the lawsuits were mostly against curators and not against guardians. In terms of motivations, the author summarises that lawsuits brought by guardians or curators in defence of the interests of the minors in their care amounted to 58%, while those aimed at the diminution or disintegration of the patrimony were close to 50%.
