The applicant sought appointment as guardian of property for her minor son, Michael, for the sale of a Quebec condominium and for the general management of his inheritance.
The Children's Lawyer, acting as Michael's litigation guardian, agreed to the appointment for the condominium sale but opposed general guardianship, advocating for the inheritance to be paid to the Accountant for the Superior Court of Justice due to risks associated with RESPs and the administrative burden of private guardianship.
The court granted the applicant guardianship solely for the condominium sale and ordered Michael's inheritance to be paid to the Accountant, finding this to be in the minor's best interests.
