What has changed since 28 February 2023 about voluntary jurisdiction and authorisations to protect the most vulnerable.
As is probably already well known, from 28 February 2023 notaries have become an alternative to the judge supervising a guardianship in respect of authorisations for the execution of public deeds and authenticated private contracts involving a minor, an interdicted person, an incapacitated person or a beneficiary of special assistance and for those deeds concerning succession property.
