Description
This act makes it legal for the district probate courts of the province to appoint guardians for minors under the age of 21 whose parents are both deceased. It specifies that proof must be made that both mother and father are deceased, and states that the guardian appointed may deduct a "reasonable sum" of money from the estate of said minor to apply towards expenses. It gives the guardian the power to make all decisions regarding to education, apprenticeship, and management of estate until the age of 21 (or until marriage in the case of women), and although there are no limits applied to what the guardian can do with their ward or the ward's estate, there is a procedure laid out in the act which details how a ward can lodge a complaint with the government against their guardian.
