Reminder

A protected adult is a person placed under guardianship, guardianship or protection of justice by a judge because of his physical or mental state (illness, disability, paralysis, psychiatric disorders, etc.).

Guardianship is a judicial measure intended to protect an adult and/or all or part of his assets if he is no longer able to look after his own interests.

The personalized social support measures are intended to help adults whose faculties are not impaired but who are in serious social difficulty and are receiving social benefits.

The judicial accompanying measures are taken with a view to restoring the autonomy of an adult in the management of his resources: a judicial representative for the protection of adults receives and manages all or part of the social benefits of the person.

The family authorization is a device intended to simplify the procedures of the relatives of a person who is in a state in need of protection.

Safeguarding justice is a short-term measure of legal protection that allows an adult to be represented to perform certain acts.
