B. Within fifteen days of his qualification, the curator shall cause the judgment of interdiction to be recorded in the conveyance and mortgage records of every other parish in which the interdict owns immovable property. Within fifteen days from the signing of a judgment modifying or terminating interdiction, the curator shall cause it to be recorded in the conveyance and mortgage records of every other parish in which the interdict owns immovable property.

C. (1) Within fifteen days of his qualification, the curator shall mail a certified copy of a judgment of full interdiction, or limited interdiction for mental incompetence which specifically suspends the right to register and vote, to the registrar of voters of the parish in which the interdict is registered to vote, or otherwise eligible but for the interdiction, by certified mail or commercial courier.

(2) Within fifteen days from the signing of a judgment modifying or terminating such an interdiction, the curator shall mail a copy of the modification or termination to the registrar of voters of the parish in which the interdict resides by certified mail or commercial courier.

(3) The curator shall also provide to the registrar of voters the date of birth of the interdict and the last four digits of the social security number of the interdict to ensure that the proper person is removed from the voting records.
