Notarization of guardianship is a process in which the person prepares in advance a voluntary guardianship contract that determines the details of the guardianship and the person who will become the guardian, with a notarized deed, in preparation for situations in which the ability to judge is reduced due to illness, accident, old age, etc.

Voluntary guardianship is a system that can reflect the person's will as much as possible in that the person has decision-making ability and can directly decide matters related to future property management and personal protection.

The contents of the guardianship contract can be determined according to the person's situation and needs, and the scope of support required for the person, such as matters related to future property management and personal protection, can be specifically determined.

In particular, it is meaningful in that you can decide in advance the matters you consider important or the direction you want to make decisions, so that your opinions can be reflected as much as possible even in situations where it is difficult to make decisions on your own in the future.

The specific contents of the guardianship contract may vary depending on the person's financial situation, family relationship, expected future situation, etc., so thorough review is required before signing.

① Preparing for retirement and preparing for the future

Recently, as the aging population has rapidly progressed and the number of single-person households and households living alone has increased, the importance of preparing in advance for matters related to managing one's assets and protecting one's personal information in the future is increasing.

Guardianship notarization is a system that allows you to prepare for the future according to your own will in case you find it difficult to make decisions on your own due to illness, accident, old age, etc.

② Designate desired guardian

Unlike legal guardianship, where the court appoints a guardian, guardianship notarization allows the person to directly decide who will be the guardian.

Therefore, you can appoint someone you trust as your guardian and prepare in advance to receive the support you need according to your wishes.

③ Reflection of one’s opinion and protection of rights

Through a guardianship contract, you can decide in advance your desired direction regarding future property management and personal protection.

This allows the person's opinion to be reflected as much as possible even after the ability to make decisions is impaired, and helps protect one's rights and interests.

④ Prevention of conflict between family members

Setting standards for future property management and decision-making in advance will help prevent disagreements or disputes that may arise among family members.

Guardianship notarization is a process in which the person and the person who will be the guardian negotiate the contents of the guardianship contract and then conclude the contract through a notarized deed.

Once the contents of the guardianship contract are decided, prepare the documents necessary to create a notarized deed, and then you and the person who will be your guardian visit the notary office to confirm the contents of the contract. The notary public confirms the parties' intentions and prepares a certified guardianship contract in accordance with the procedures prescribed by law.

Afterwards, you and the person who will become your guardian will check the contents of the contract and sign or seal it to complete the guardianship notarization process.

After completing the notarization of guardianship, you must register the guardianship contract with the Family Court. When a situation that actually requires guardianship arises, you apply to the Family Court to appoint a voluntary guardianship supervisor. Once the court appoints a supervisor, voluntary guardianship begins from then on.
