Practice question
A ward makes a testamentary gift to an unrelated guardian before approval of the guardian’s final accounts. The ward dies after approval. Does the later approval alone validate this gift under Article 1027(3)?
- Yes, automatically
- Yes, if the guardian keeps the will
- Yes, whenever the guardian requests it
- No; the rule covers a disposition made before final-account approval even if death follows approval, and no listed family exception is present
- No guardian may ever receive a gift even within the listed family exception
