Guardians Fund
A fund administered by the Master that can receive and administer money for minors, missing persons, unborn heirs, and other protected beneficiaries in recognised situations.
Definition
Guardians Fund questions should be reviewed through the Master's reference, estate or court documents, beneficiary identity and age, guardian or caregiver details, payment records, claim forms, bank details, proof of entitlement, and correspondence from the Master. The fund is not a general savings account; access and payments follow Master processes and supporting documents.
