Legal overview
Managing a minor’s assets depends on the representative’s legal authority and the child’s interests. Day-to-day custody does not by itself confer authority to dispose of property. Sale, mortgage or settlement may require judicial approval depending on the representative and transaction.
Practical steps
Preserve proof of appointment, estate and title records, and valuation evidence. Check conflicts of interest and use separate records for the minor’s assets and expenses.
Official sources
General legal information. Individual cases require review of the documents and applicable law.
