Question #1474:

A father bought some property for his minor children. Having satisfied the legal requirements for the sale, can the sale be deemed concluded by the father’s taking possession of the property, as the guardian of the children?

Answer #1474:

After legally concluding the deal by the father on behalf of his minor children, taking possession of the property by the father, as the children’s guardian, is sufficient for achieving the sale’s consequences thereupon.
