Enduring Power of Attorney: Guardianship
This service is available across France
Who Can Benefit from this Service?
- This service is primarily intended for adults, especially the elderly, who require representation due to impaired mental faculties - for example, as a result of dementia, age-related weakness, physical inability to express their will, or general conditions that compromise their self-sufficiency.
- It's particularly relevant if you have an elderly parent who can no longer ensure their own protection due to age and requires assistance through a guardianship arrangement.
- The duration of such guardianship can be 5 to 10 years, subject to renewal based on the individual's health condition and the judge's discretion.
Requirements
- A formal written agreement, either private or notarised.
- The elderly individual (the principal) must be of sound mind when signing the power of attorney.
- The agent must act within the specified scope and duration of the power of attorney.
Process: Our Approach
- Consultation and Assessment: Understanding your specific requirements and the medical condition of the elderly relative.
- Drafting the Power of Attorney: Preparing the legal document that grants the agent the authority to act on behalf of the principal.
- Formalisation: Ensuring that the power of attorney is correctly formalised through a notary.
- Legal Support and Guidance: Providing ongoing support, including in situations where the principal's condition deteriorates.
