Supervisor (law)
In Germany, a supervisor is the legal representative of adults who cannot, or cannot sufficiently, take care of their own affairs and therefore require supervision . Supervisors have numerous obligations towards the supervised person and the supervisory court.
Types of carers
A distinction is made according to their professional position:
- volunteer supervisors , mostly family members;
- Career supervisor ;
- Association supervisors as employees of a care association and usually lawyers or social pedagogues;
- Authority supervisor as an employee of the care authority , formerly mainly in the youth welfare office .
Regardless of the general legal representation, there is support for special cases:
Supervisor restrictions
A distinction is made between “exempt” supervisors and “non-exempt” supervisors.
“Liberated” carers are usually direct family members (parents, children, spouses, life partners, but not siblings), as well as club and government officials. These are exempt from some supervisory measures by the court.
You may largely use the financial resources of the person you are caring for, mainly for everyday duties, without judicial involvement. However, you are accountable to the supervisory court annually. Whether a supervisor is "exempted" or not results from § 1908i Abs. 2 BGB.
