Question 12340 — disqualifications and incapacities

Summary

Mr. Thomas Rudigoz alerts the Minister of Justice, Minister of Justice, to the abuse suffered by many protected adults. Indeed, nearly 800,000 people in France are placed under guardianship or curatorship today, half of whom are taken care of by a legal representative from a specialized private association. These agents control the bank accounts and assets of the protected adult, in return their activity must be inspected by chief registrars linked to a guardianship judge. Despite the existence of this theoretical safeguard, the Court of Auditors denounces in a September 2016 report the lack of staff and training of the clerks in charge of these files, and therefore notes numerous shortcomings in the protection measures for protected adults. This defect prevents justice from guaranteeing the fundamental rights and freedoms of adults under guardianship or curatorship, and constitutes a deficiency in the system that it is crucial to fill. Following the announcement of the restoration of the right to vote of people under guardianship, he asked whether additional measures in favor of the protection of the rights and freedoms of people under guardianship and curatorship will be introduced in the justice reform presented in 2019.
