How to establish guardianship over an incapacitated person in Ukraine

Establishing guardianship is an official procedure that allows legal care for a person who has lost the ability to understand or control their actions. The procedure includes the following steps:

Preparation and submission of an application to the court at the person’s place of residence;
Submission of medical documents confirming the ward’s health condition;
Undergoing a forensic psychiatric examination to determine the person’s capacity.

Lawyers at the “Consultant” marketplace accompany the process from the initial consultation to obtaining the court decision. We help correctly prepare documents, avoid refusals, and expedite case consideration.

Preparing the application and undergoing a forensic psychiatric examination

To establish guardianship, it is necessary to:

Prepare an application to declare the person incapacitated, justifying the need to appoint a guardian;
Attach medical documents and certificates confirming the person’s health condition;
Undergo a forensic psychiatric examination to establish the fact of incapacity.

Our specialists ensure correct document preparation and support the client at all stages of court proceedings.

Duration of guardianship and possibility of extension

The court establishes guardianship for up to two years. If the ward’s health condition remains unchanged, the guardian has the right to apply to the court for an extension. For this, it is necessary to:

Timely submit documents to the court for consideration of the guardianship extension;
Represent the ward’s interests in court during the consideration;
Ensure proper care and protection of the ward’s rights throughout the guardianship period.

Guardianship and limited care have different legal meanings: guardianship is established for persons who have completely lost the ability to understand or control their actions, while limited care is established for persons with partial capacity who need partial assistance. Choosing the correct form ensures effective court proceedings and legality of the guardian’s actions. Our lawyers help determine the optimal form of care and ensure its legal formalization.
