The adult guardianship system protects the rights of those who are unable to make decisions on their own due to dementia, intellectual disabilities, mental disorders, etc., and who find it difficult to manage contracts and property on their own. This is a system in which the family court selects a helper (such as an "adult guardian") and provides legal support.
Those who wish to use this system and who find it difficult to bear the costs necessary to file a petition or remuneration for an adult guardian can receive subsidies for all or part of the costs.
