Section 165: Custody of property may be handed over

1) Notwithstanding anything contained elsewhere in this Chapter, if a person is unable to protect and manage the property under his or her title, ownership or possession on his or her own, for the reason that he or she has to go elsewhere by leaving the place where he or she resides, he or she may appoint any person as a curator to that end and hand over the custody of such property to that other person.

2) If the custody of property is handed over to any person pursuant to sub-section (1), the person taking the custody of such property shall protect and manage the property and return the property to the person handing over its custody as and when the handing over person so requires.
