Qi Wei's brother retired and went home to rest in the 1950 s because he suffered from grade four schizophrenia. Qi Weicheng is his brother's legal guardian. Later, because Wei Qi wanted to buy more welfare houses, he bought a house in his brother's name, which was also written on the property ownership certificate.
Recently, Qi Wei wanted to transfer the house to his own name, but the Nanjing housing management department told him that because Qi Wei's brother was a mental patient and had no capacity for civil conduct, in order to protect his brother's legitimate rights and interests, the house could not be transferred.
Chen Bo, a lawyer of Jiangsu Yangtze River Delta Law Firm, told Qi Wei that according to relevant laws and regulations, the guardian can only dispose of the ward's property for the benefit of the ward.
In this case, Wei Qi can only transfer the house to his own name under the condition of protecting the ward's interests, such as seeing a doctor, but this punishment cannot harm the ward's interests.
Another way to transfer ownership is to wait for Wei Qi's brother for a hundred years, because Wei Qi's parents have died, so Wei Qi can inherit the house as the guardian.
