The lease, dated November 1, 1949 to expire November 31, 1953, was without leave granted by the probate court. Defendant relies on the case of Kuhns v. Marvel Paint Stores, 233 Mich. 108. The Kuhns Case turned on the statute then in force which did not require the probate court's consent to the lease and the Kuhns Case does not seem to have involved any rights of a minor. The statute, CL 1948, § 709.5 (Stat Ann § 27.3178 [465]), now contains a provision requiring the consent of the probate court to a lease (such as that which defendant relies on) by an administrator, and also forbids a lease beyond the minority of the ward, unless consented to by the ward upon attaining majority; both of which requirements being violated by the lease in question, the lease is void.
