第百二十六条(後見開始の審判事件を本案とする保全処分)
Article 126Provisional Order during a Case on the Merits to Adjudicate Commencement of Guardianship
When a petition for the commencement of guardianship is filed, and when it is necessary for daily life, medical treatment, and nursing care or administration of the property of a person who is to be an adult under guardianship, the family court (or a high court in the case set forth in Article 105, paragraph (2); hereinafter the same applies in this Article and the following Article) may, upon petition or by its own authority, appoint an administrator of property or give instructions to a party concerned with the case with regard to the matters regarding daily life, medical treatment, and nursing care or administration of the property of the person who is to be an adult under guardianship, while not requiring the provision of security, until a ruling on the petition for the commencement of guardianship becomes effective.
When a petition for the commencement of guardianship is filed, and when it is particularly necessary for the preservation of the property of a person who is to be an adult under guardianship, the family court may, upon the petition of the person who has filed the petition, order that the person who is to be an adult under guardianship becomes subject to the guardianship of the administrator of property set forth in the preceding paragraph in performing acts in relation to property (excluding the acts prescribed in the proviso to Article 9 of the Civil Code; the same applies in paragraph (7)), until a ruling on the petition for the commencement of guardianship becomes effective.
When it is impossible to hear the opinions of a person who is to be an adult under guardianship due to the person's mental or physical disability, the family court may, notwithstanding the provisions of Article 107, make a ruling under the provisions of the preceding paragraph (referred to as a "ruling to order guardianship" in the following paragraph through paragraph (7)) without taking the step of hearing the person's statements.
A ruling to order guardianship becomes effective when notice thereof is given to the administrator of the property set forth in paragraph (1) (if there are two or more such administrators, one of them).
Notice of a ruling to order guardianship must be given to a person who is to be an adult under guardianship. In this case, the provisions of Article 74, paragraph (1) do not apply to a person who is to be an adult under guardianship.
The period for filing an immediate appeal against a ruling to order guardianship to be filed by a person other than a person who receives notice of a ruling runs from the day on which the administrator of property set forth in paragraph (1) receives notice under the provisions of paragraph (4) (if there are two or more such days, the latest day).
When a ruling to order guardianship is made, the person who is to be an adult under guardianship and the administrator of property set forth in paragraph (1) may rescind acts performed in relation to property by the person who is to be an adult under guardianship. In this case, the provisions of the Civil Code concerning the rescission of acts performed by a person with limited capacity to act apply mutatis mutandis.
The provisions of paragraphs (1) through (6) of the preceding Article, and the provisions of Articles 27 through 29 of the Civil Code (excluding Article 27, paragraph (2) of the Code) apply mutatis mutandis to the administrator of property set forth in paragraph (1). In this case, the term "an adult under guardianship" in paragraph (3) of the preceding Article is deemed to be replaced with "a person who is to be an adult under guardianship".
前条第一項から第六項までの規定及び民法第二十七条から第二十九条まで(同法第二十七条第二項を除く。)の規定は、第一項の財産の管理者について準用する。この場合において、前条第三項中「成年被後見人」とあるのは、「成年被後見人となるべき者」と読み替えるものとする。
略称規定第百二十六条第三項・この規定及び第百二十六条第四項から第七項までの中だけ
家庭裁判所は、成年被後見人となるべき者の心身の障害によりその者の陳述を聴くことができないときは、第百七条の規定にかかわらず、その者の陳述を聴く手続を経ずに、前項の規定による審判(次項から第七項までにおいて「後見命令の審判」という。)をする…
わかりやすく言うと
後見開始の申立てがあり、成年被後見人となるべき人の財産を守るため特に必要があるとき、申立てをした人の申立てにより、後見開始の審判が効力を生ずるまで、日用品の購入など日常生活に関する行為を除く財産上の行為について財産の管理者の後見を受けるよう命ずる審判です。
