Gyámügyi

Gyámügyi refers to the legal and administrative processes related to guardianship in Hungary. Guardianship is a legal relationship where one person, known as the guardian, is appointed to act on behalf of another person, known as the ward, who is unable to make decisions for themselves due to age, disability, or other reasons. The primary goal of guardianship is to ensure the well-being and protection of the ward.

In Hungary, guardianship can be established through a court-ordered process or through a voluntary agreement between the ward and the guardian. The court-ordered process involves a legal proceeding where the court assesses the ward's needs and appoints a guardian based on the best interests of the ward. This process is governed by the Hungarian Civil Code and other relevant legislation.

The guardian has various responsibilities, including making decisions about the ward's living arrangements, healthcare, education, and financial matters. They must act in the ward's best interests and provide regular reports to the court or the ward's family.

Gyámügyi services are provided by the Hungarian Guardianship Office, which offers support and guidance to individuals and families involved in guardianship proceedings. The office also provides legal advice and assistance in navigating the complex legal processes associated with guardianship.
