(equivalent to 10% of the estate) while the remainder would go to the boy. Two friends were appointed as guardians (Vormunder) to manage the inheritance jointly and were authorized to conduct business, receiving the usual compensation for their services. When the boy came of age, the guardians paid him only 60,000 fl. He objected, claiming that the household of his mother had been overly generous in its expenditures (which the guardians had done based on the mother's request). Additionally, he argued that his sister had received 1,000 fl. more than she should have, considering that her livelihood should have been calculated. Furthermore, he pointed out that the will mentioned not only the amount but also 10% of the estate. Ultimately, the grandfather had granted the guardians only advance discharge for their joint administration. However, contrary to the testament's instructions, they divided the wealth, with each guardian managing half of it. Therefore, the boy believed he had the right to review the accounts. Doctor David b. Jacob de Meza rejected all of the young man's objections except for the claim that the guardians had overpaid the sister. For this, they were liable.
