It has appeared from the medical report that Nabiha, daughter of Abraham Khazma, is mentally incapacitated (with dementia)
which prevents her from managing her own affairs; therefore, it is necessary to appoint a guardian for her to
protect her rights and property and manage them until her recovery.
The Mukhtar of the Qanbar Ali neighborhood has requested the appointment of Heskel, son of Ibrahim, as a guardian for
the aforementioned incapacitated Nabiha.
Therefore, it is necessary to seek clarification from you regarding whom you nominate to undertake the guardianship. If you agree
to the appointment of the aforementioned Heskel, please inform us whether the said Heskel is of good standing
and character, and whether he is capable of undertaking the guardianship or not?
