The Management and Disposal With Child’s Property – Especially in Light of Kidfluencers

A child’s property refers to all the properties of the child, which may include money, movable property, and immovable property. Because the child is a minor and lacks business capacity, parents usually manage the child’s property. However, when a child is placed under guardianship, the child’s property is managed by a parent or a guardian, who has the right and obligation to manage their child’s property in the child’s best interests. At age 15, the child acquires certain autonomy under Slovenian law concerning the disposition of their property. However, certain limitations still exist, mainly for their own benefit. Indeed, a child’s property can play an important role in planning the child’s financial future, both in the short and long term, that is, after the age of the majority. The latter is particularly unsettled today, both in Slovenia and other countries, regarding the so-called kidfluencers and the property they generate. The lack of proper regulations can expose kidfluencers to violations of their rights.
