English translation
The testator may appoint an overseer over the executor and a supervisor of his work. His function is subject to the testator’s designation, and it is of two types: First: To appoint the overseer as a monitor of the executor for the purpose of ascertaining that his implementation of the will conforms to what was bequeathed, such that, if he sees him acting contrary to what the testator prescribed, he would object to him. The executor is not required to seek the permission of such an overseer for his dispositions or follow his opinion and view concerning them; rather, his acts must merely be performed with his knowledge and supervision. Second: To appoint the overseer as a consultant to the executor such that he acts only with his permission and approval. Although the executor is an independent guardian in disposition and execution, he is not independent in opinion and judgment, and none of his acts shall take effect except those that accord with the overseer’s view and have his permission. If he acts alone according to his own view without the overseer’s approval, his disposition shall not take effect.
Arabic original
يجوز للموصي أن يجعل ناظرا على الوصي ومشرفا على عمله، ووظيفته تابعة
لجعل الموصي، وهو على قسمين:
الأول : أن يجعل الناظر رقيبا على الوصي من جهة الاستيثاق على عمله بالوصية
مطابقا لما أوصى به حتى أنه لو رأى منه خلاف ما قرره الموصى لاعترض عليه،
ومثل هذا الناظر لا يجب على الوصى استئذانه في تصرفاته ومتابعة رأيه ونظره
فيها، بل إنما يجب أن تكون أعماله باطلاعه وإشرافه.
الثاني : أن يجعل الناظر مشاورا للوصي بحيث لا يعمل إلا بإذن منه وموافقته،
فالوصي وإن كان وليا مستقلا في التصرف والتنفيذ لكنه غير مستقل في الرأي والنظر
فلا يمضي من أعماله إلا ما وافق نظر الناظر وكان بإذنه، فلو استبد بالعمل على
نظره من دون موافقة الناظر لم ينفذ تصرفه .Ask about this article
