Protection of vulnerable adults and their assets

Back to Private Clients

Life expectancy is becoming considerably longer each year, making it more likely that elderly adults will become incapable of effectively protecting themselves and their assets.

Our firm provides a range of effective solutions to ensure that people receive the support they need and any legal protection they may eventually require.

We assist our clients with the following issues:

  • Legal administration
  • Legal protection of adults
  • Judical protection
  • Curatorship and guardianship
  • Enduring power of attorney

Our team approaches each case individually and cautiously studies the impact of the measure on the vulnerable person's assets, as well as their comfort and well-being.

We have also developed close relations with an international network of specialist firms and counsels, with whom we regularly work on cross-border cases, usually involving parallel proceedings in several different jurisdictions.
