What are the costs?

The judicial guardianship proceedings generally trigger a cost sequence. The court charges fees in accordance with a separate federal law on costs. A check is carried out to determine whether the person concerned is to share in the costs of the proceedings.
For this purpose, proof of personal and financial circumstances must be provided at the request of the court. Court costs include both fees (for the activities of the guardianship court) and expenses (e.g. fees of the expert and the guardian ad litem). A differentiation must be made here when considering an allowance:
An allowance with regard to fees is taken into account ex officio in the amount of 25,000.00 euros. If assets of less than 25,000.00 euros are available, no fees are incurred by the court.
In contrast, an allowance of 5,000.00 euros applies to certain expenses (fees of the guardian ad litem).
