Gabbay, and that these expenses listed above are appropriate for the status of the deceased, and therefore it decided to direct it

Memorandum
It has appeared from the medical report that Nabiha daughter of Abraham Khazma is afflicted with (dementia)
which prevents her from managing her own affairs, and 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 Haskel son of Ibrahim as a guardian for
the aforementioned demented Nabiha.
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 Haskel, please inform us whether the said Haskel is of good standing
and conduct, and whether he is capable of undertaking the guardianship or not.
