Supervision - final activity upon termination


Procedure

  • After notification of the death by the guardian or a third party, the case is submitted to the competent judicial officer at the court. A corresponding letter of advice to the guardian with specific requests for final settlement is prepared and sent to the guardian.
  • After receipt of the death certificate, the guardianship authority is notified of the death accordingly. If a final account is required, the court will set a deadline for submission. This is done in the same way for the return of the guardian's certificate, as well as for the submission of a final report.
  • After receipt of the documents, a judicial examination will take place, and with regard to the final account, an examination report will be issued. The court will then return the report together with the documents to the guardian. The latter is then requested to hand over the documents to the heirs or the person concerned.
  • After the costs of the proceedings have been examined, the case is closed at the court.
