The Department of Justice and Constitutional Development’s Guardian's Fund manages funds on behalf of those who cannot do it themselves.
The Guardian's Fund was established to hold and administer funds for people who are unable to do so, such as a mentally ill person who inherited a large sum of money, or the money of young children, unborn heirs, or missing persons.
The Guardian's Fund falls under the administration of the Master of the High Court.
A Master of the High Court is appointed for every provincial division of the High Court of South Africa.
