Adult Guardian

Introduction

The adult guardianship system appoints an adult guardian through the decision of the family court for adults whose capacity to handle their own affairs is continuously limited due to disease, disability, advanced age or other causes, ensuring a wide range of protection and support for such persons in management of their wealth and everyday life. 

To initiate an adult guardianship, the necessity of such a guardianship must be established through medical records, mental examination, statements and other evidence, and decisions must also be made as to whether who will be appointed guardian, and the extent of the guardianship. When the interests of the related parties conflict, much controversy may ensue, necessitating the assistance of an attorney with sufficient expertise and experience in cases involving adult guardianship.
