What is guardianship for a person with a Group 1 disability?
Guardianship for a person with a Group 1 disability is a legal procedure that gives an individual the right to represent the interests of an incapacitated relative or acquaintance in personal, property and medical matters.
In Ukraine, this procedure is regulated by a number of normative acts and requires strict compliance with legal requirements.
Usually, close relatives become guardians, but the law also allows for the appointment of another trusted person as guardian. It is important to remember that the guardian is appointed by the court, so the preparation of documents must be flawless in order to avoid rejection.

Appointing guardianship over a person with a Group 1 disability requires collecting documents and applying to the guardianship authorities and the court for official appointment.

The Consultant legal marketplace provides full support throughout the process, helping you avoid mistakes and delays.
