Guardianship

= Q.: My uncle was appointed | | guardian under a will to my 1 3 sister, aged 17. He informs § | me that having kept her while | | at school he will no longer be | § liable for her maintenance, and = I that I am liable; is this cor- | 1 rect?— "Constant" (Taupo). I | A.: Your uncle cannot resign | | his guardianship before your | 1 sister is 21, except for urgent | | reasons. Generally, a guar- = | dian is not liable to expend | | his own money upon the main- y | | tenanoe of his ward. But as | I your uncle has maintained her | | previously at his own expense | | it would seem that he will be I | liable to do so further. This f | will nbt, however, relieve you | | from contributing towards her | | maintenance. I niiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiini?.
