Adult Guardianship System - INI
The Adult Guardianship System is a civil law system designed to protect the rights and support the lives of individuals whose decision-making capacity is insufficient due to dementia, intellectual disabilities, mental disorders, or other reasons. A guardian or curator appointed by the family court provides personal care, manages property, and enters into contracts for welfare services. The system consists of two types: statutory guardianship, where the court appoints a guardian after the person's decision-making capacity becomes impaired, and voluntary guardianship, where the person selects a guardian in advance through a contract while still capable of making decisions.
