The persons entitled to the intestate estate are minors. Who is entitled to a grant in such cases?
Grants cannot be made to persons under age, but must be made to their guardians for their use and benefit until they attain the age of 18 years subject to any limitations or conditions the Registrar thinks fit. A minor aged 12 years or over may elect a guardian, otherwise the Registrar may assign a guardian. The Registrar will not assign a guardian unless satisfied that the proposed guardian is ready and able to undertake the guardianship.
