Article 794Adoption of a Ward by the Guardian

第七百九十四条(後見人が被後見人を養子とする縁組)

A guardian must obtain the permission of the family court in order to adopt a ward (meaning a minor ward or an adult ward; the same applies hereinafter). The same applies if the person's role as guardian has ended but the person has not finished accounting for the management of the ward's property.

後見人が被後見人(未成年被後見人及び成年被後見人をいう。以下同じ。)を養子とするには、家庭裁判所の許可を得なければならない。後見人の任務が終了した後、まだその管理の計算が終わらない間も、同様とする。
