Supervision - Change of supervisor

  • Gesundheit und Vorsorge

At the request of a party to the proceedings, a change of guardian may be carried out

  • Basic information
    • If there are lasting differences between the guardian and the person concerned which no longer permit trusting contact between them, any party to the proceedings may apply for a change of guardian.
    • The court shall decide on the application, which must always be made in writing. Reasons must be given for the application. If possible, the person concerned should be able to name a new guardian at the time of application.

    Requirements

    Written, informal application by a party to the proceedings

  • Procedure
    • Once the informal application has been received, the case is submitted to the responsible judge for a decision.
    • As a rule, a written statement is obtained from the respondent or a hearing is scheduled by the judge. If necessary, the guardianship authority is commissioned to determine the suitability of a potential new guardian or the former guardian.
    • The court will make a decision following the appropriate investigation. This can be contested by means of an admissible appeal. This must be lodged within one month of receipt of the decision. In the court order, the information on the legal remedy shall refer to the admissible legal remedy as well as the form and deadline.
    • If the change of guardian is carried out, further procedural pleadings will be prepared by the competent judicial officers and forwarded to the parties to the proceedings.
