A tutor other than a parent of the minor may resign when authorized by the court under Article 4271:
(1) If subsequent to his appointment as tutor he has been invested with an office or engaged in a service or occupation which excuses him from the obligation of serving as tutor;
(2) If he has reached the age of seventy years;
(3) If because of infirmity he has become incapable of discharging the duties of his office; or
(4) For any other reason which the court in its discretion may deem sufficient.
The resignation by a tutor shall become effective when a successor is appointed, as provided in Article 4237, and when his final account has been filed and homologated.
