Quintus Mucius Scævola, Rules. Guardianship is derived from the right of inheritance, except where there are female heirs. 1No one can appoint a guardian for anyone except for his proper heirs, or unless he had such heirs at the time of his death, or would have had them if he had lived. 2That is considered to be done with violence which anyone does after having been prohibited; and he acts clandestinely who proceeds without the knowledge of the other party, if he has a controversy with him, or thinks that he will have one. 3Anything which is stated in a will in such a way that it cannot be understood is just the same as if it had not been mentioned at all. 4No one can benefit another to the detriment of a third party, either by an agreement, by prescribing a condition, or by entering into a stipulation.
