Les «public trustee», «public administrator» et «official trustee» dans les provinces de common law du Canada ont les mêmes attributions et remplissent les mêmes fonctions en matière de successions et sont les homologues du «curateur public» au Québec. «Curateur public» est employé en Ontario pour traduire «public trustee» et «administrateur public» au Nouveau-Brunswick pour traduire «public administrator». On peut aussi l'employer pour traduire «official trustee». Il faut tenir compte de ces différentes appellations anglaises lorsqu'on retraduit «curateur public» vers l'anglais. 4, record 2, French, - curateur%20public
