Housing and inheritance: How are the rights of orphaned children protected?
Significant amendments are being introduced to the legislation on guardianship and trusteeship by the new law.
According to the current procedure, guardians and trustees protect the rights and interests of orphans and children deprived of parental care who are being raised under their care.
Also, guardianship or trusteeship is established in cases where a person over 18 years of age is recognized as legally incapacitated, has limited legal capacity, or cannot independently protect their rights due to physical health reasons.
Previously, guardians and trustees were given the right to renounce the property, inheritance, or gifts of the person under their care. According to the new legislation, they can no longer renounce the gift, property, or inheritance of the person under their care.
These changes serve to preserve the rights of children in need of protection to live in and use housing that has been or will be inherited by them, as well as to prevent the alienation of property belonging to them.
