MANAGED ESTATES
The property of minors, lunatics and persons incapable of managing it is taken over by the Government in order to secure due care and proper management of the estates concerned. In the case of persons incapable of managing their own properly, assumption of superintendence of the estate is undertaken only when the estate is encumbered with debt or is mismanaged and the Government is of the opinion that it is expedient in the public interest to preserve the property of the person for the benefit of his family and the property is of such value that economical management by the Government agency is practicable.
Court of Wards Act: The Court of Wards is empowered to
assume the superintendence of the property of persons incapable of managing their own property. The Court of Wards however cannot assume superintendence of the property of any minor for the management of whose property a caretaker has been appointed by will or other instrument.
At present there are no estates under the management of the Collector, Akola, under the Court of Wards Act or Guardians and Wards Act.
