Kan iemand my bietjie meer vertel oor hoe dit werk wanneer minderjarige ge-erf het, hul inheritance by guardian's fund te kry? Is daar sekere vorms wat voltooi moet word? Wat het mens als nodig? Hoe lank vat dit min of meer?
Wanneer ’n minderjarige uit ’n bestorwe boedel erf, moet die eksekuteur die geld in beginsel aan die Meester betaal vir deposito in die Guardian’s Fund, tensy ’n hof die eksekuteur daarvan vrystel. Die Fund hou dan ’n rekening in die naam van die persoon aan wie die geld behoort, of soms in die naam van die boedel waaruit dit kom. 34
’n Natuurlike voog kan nie bloot die minderjarige se erfgeld ontvang nie. Tensy die testament uitdruklik anders bepaal, vereis betaling aan die voog sekuriteit wat die Meester aanvaar, sodat die geld of die waarde van roerende eiendom aan die minderjarige betaal of gelewer kan word wanneer hy of sy daarop geregtig raak. Die Meester kan ook ’n voog skriftelik vra vir ’n beëdigde verklaring met besonderhede oor die geld of eiendom. 1
Die bronne noem nie ’n spesifieke aansoekvorm, ’n volledige lys dokumente, of ’n vaste wagtyd vir ’n voog om geld uit die Guardian’s Fund te kry nie. Hulle bepaal wel dat die Meester geld uit die Fund aan ’n persoon kan betaal wat geregtig is om dit te ontvang. 2
Wat die boedelproses betref, kan die eksekuteur eers uitdeel nadat die likwidasie- en distribusierekening afgehandel is; indien geld nie versprei kan word nie, moet die eksekuteur dit binne twee maande nadat die boedel verspreibaar geword het, aan die Meester betaal vir die Guardian’s Fund. Dit gee nie ’n totale tydsduur vir die hele proses nie. 5
