I am a Curator Bonis. I have always been invoiced after the account has been reviewed, why does the Public Guardian request the account fee upfront?
A. The account fee for the Office of the Public should accompany the accounts. In terms of Section 7(2) of the AWI Act “the Public Guardian may charge the prescribed fee for anything done by him in connection with any of his functions under this Act and he shall not be obliged to act until such fee is paid”.
