Given the Applicant's demonstrated role as de facto guardian since the mother's death, the minor's settled arrangements and expressed wish, the Father's non-involvement and non-opposition, and the social worker's recommendation, the court exercised its power under section 8D GMO to appoint the Applicant as guardian because that appointment is in the minor's best interests and is necessary to enable decisions requiring parental authority.
