Does establishing authority over property via bequest confer the authority for marriage via the same bequest?

Primary text

Based on the primary opinion that authority for marriage can be established by bequest, if one is appointed as the executor for property (Wasiyy fi al-Mal) by bequest, he does not become the executor for marriage by that same bequest. This is because the authority for marriage is one of the two authorities, and establishing authority over property does not grant authority over marriage, similar to how establishing authority over marriage does not confer authority over property, based on analogy.
