Carolinian Custom: Procedures for Granting Consent

Carolinian Custom: Procedures for Granting Consent. Unless the family consents or agrees otherwise, the requirement in this law that all of the members of the family with title to or use rights in the land consent is met if the customary trustee and his surviving brothers and sisters consent; provided, that the children, if any, of a dead brother or sister of the customary trustee may exercise the consent rights of the decedent. The children shall determine by majority consent/vote among themselves if consent will be granted. Unless otherwise agreed, the oldest child of the decedent shall give the consent in accordance with the determination made by the majority of the children. Source: PL 3-106, ch. 9, § 9.
