[Vocabulary] How to use "supervise" in a sentence?

[ronaldo1980]

Hello,

Is the following usage of the word "supervise" correct? If not can you tell me how to use it in the following context:
"The king was old and had one son, who was only ten years old. So the king appointed a guardianship council to supervise his son, after he dies, in ruling the kingdom."

Thanks.

'Supervise somebody doing something.'── quoted from Oxford Learner's Dictionaries.
Having read the above, I think it is correct to say 'to supervise his son ruling the kingdom after his death'.

"Supervise" is OK, but I would prefer "advise". I would also move "after he dies" to the end of the sentence. As it is written, that phrase could be read as applying to "son".

 

[Matthew Wai]

When I saw '... after he dies', I thought the king was still alive.

 

[Roman55]

If we used '…after his death' it would make no difference whether the king's still alive or not.
