How to establish guardianship in Ukraine: step-by-step guide

The procedure of establishing guardianship in Ukraine is regulated by the Family Code of Ukraine and other legal acts. The main stages include:

Collecting required documents: copies of passports, income certificates, medical reports, criminal record extract, and other documents confirming the person’s ability to fulfill the duties of a guardian.
Submitting an application to the guardianship authority: either at the place of residence of the person in need of guardianship or at the place of residence of the potential guardian.
Court hearing: the guardianship authority prepares a conclusion, which is submitted to the court for a decision on guardianship.
Appointment of a guardian: after the court decision, the guardianship authority officially appoints a guardian and signs the relevant agreement.

Who can Be a guardian: requirements and criteria

is a citizen of Ukraine;
has full legal capacity;
has no criminal record for intentional crimes;
has a stable income sufficient to support the ward;
has undergone a medical examination confirming the absence of mental disorders.

It is important to note that a guardian cannot be a person who themselves requires guardianship or care.
