After the appraisal of the property has been made, and once it has been approved by the court, it shall order that the property inventoried and appraised be recorded in the proper place in the registry of tutorships.
The appraiser shall fulfill his duty, under oath made in accordance with the law, and shall receive the remuneration which the Court of First Instance shall prescribe.
