A near relation preferred by the minor, especially where the child is over fourteen and no contrary evidence of unfitness is shown, may be appointed. For guardianship of property, the appointee must be a fit individual whose character, capacity and interest can be assessed and who has no adverse interest; a society through its Secretary was treated as unsuitable on the facts. A claim for expenses was also rejected for want of a legal basis tied to the minor's welfare or estate. en-us Mon, 10 Feb 1930 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 04 Sep 2023 15:37:28 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=309444 Under the Guardians and Wards Act, the controlling test for appointment of a guardian of the minor's person is the welfare of the minor, including moral, bodily and intellectual welfare.
