Abstract

According to Indonesian law, guardianship is defined as the authority to perform legal actions in the interests of minors, whereby the surviving mother can become the guardian of her minor children to obtain inheritance on behalf of their deceased father (substitute heir). The issues raised in this journal are what considerations judges take into account in issuing a decision to appoint a guardian for a minor child according to the Civil Code, and if the child has reached adulthood, whether the district court can revoke the district court's letter of appointment as guardian or automatically expires. This research uses a qualitative normative juridical approach. The results of the research show that judges can accept requests for guardianship from biological parents for their minor children based on the evidence provided by the parents. and guardianship can be revoked in two ways: it can be revoked automatically if the minor child has reached adulthood and can perform legal actions, or by a court order if the guardian has acted in bad faith towards the minor child.
