In Sunni Law, who is first in order among the legal guardians of a minor's property ?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Under Sunni law, the legal guardians of a minor's property are, in order, the father, the executor appointed by the father's will, the father's father, and the executor appointed by the father's father's will.
The father therefore comes first, and the paternal grandfather acts only in their absence. The mother and maternal grandmother are not legal guardians of property, though they may be appointed by the court or entitled to custody of the person.
