Manustamisõigus

Manustamisõigus refers to the right of a person to administer or manage the property of another. This concept is most commonly encountered in the context of inheritance and guardianship. In inheritance law, it can refer to the right of an executor or administrator to manage the estate of a deceased person. This involves identifying assets, paying debts, and distributing the remaining property to beneficiaries according to the will or intestacy laws. Similarly, in guardianship or trusteeship, manustamisõigus denotes the authority granted to a guardian or trustee to oversee and manage the financial affairs and assets of an individual who is unable to do so themselves, such as a minor or a person with a disability. The scope and limitations of this right are typically defined by law and specific legal documents like wills, court orders, or trust deeds. It often involves a fiduciary duty, requiring the administrator to act in the best interests of the person or estate they are managing.
