Court Approval of Protection Mandates.

Accidents, aging and illness are all factors that can lead to a person being declared incompetent. It is therefore prudent to plan ahead by having a protection mandate homologated in the event of incapacity.

Homologation provides legal confirmation of the mandate’s validity and ensures that decisions taken respect the incapacitated person’s wishes. If no valid mandate has been prepared or tutorship may be an option. These steps, while essential to protecting the incapacitated person, can sometimes lead to disputes between family members.

Guidance from legal professionals is a vital asset in being prepared and getting sound advice throughout these complex processes.
