Placement under Guardianship and Signs of Maturity: Guardian’s Right to Manage Property of an Incompetent Heir
English:
Question #1870:
A man died and left behind a daughter and a son who is a ward due to incompetence. Is it permissible for his sister to have the right of disposal over his property by virtue of being his guardian?
Answer #1870:
One person does not have guardianship over one’s incompetent brother. However, should he have no paternal grandfather and if the dead father did not leave a will appointing someone to be the guardian of the brother, the guardianship over him and his property rests with the authorized religious authority.
