This article examines the issue of coordinating the alienation of a ward's real estate with the guardianship and trusteeship authority during a forced foreclosure, primarily from the perspective of the (non-)mandatory nature of the permitting procedure. Among other things, the author concludes that double control during the sale of a ward's mortgaged property (requiring permission not only to enter into a mortgage agreement but also to actually alienate the collateral) is unjustified.
