<sup>art-126 · https://japanlaw.org/en/domestic-relations-case-procedure-act/art-126 · https://japanlaw.org/l/423AC0000000052/art-126</sup>

    **第一項**  家庭裁判所（第百五条第二項の場合にあっては、高等裁判所。以下この条及び次条において同じ。）は、後見開始の申立てがあった場合において、成年被後見人となるべき者の生活、療養看護又は財産の管理のため必要があるときは、申立てにより又は職権で、担保を立てさせないで、後見開始の申立てについての審判が効力を生ずるまでの間、財産の管理者を選任し、又は事件の関係人に対し、成年被後見人となるべき者の生活、療養看護若しくは財産の管理に関する事項を指示することができる。
    <sup>art-126/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/en/domestic-relations-case-procedure-act/art-126/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/l/423AC0000000052/art-126/par-1</sup>
    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.
    <sup>Ministry of Justice translation — Japanese Law Translation Database System</sup>

    **第二項**  家庭裁判所は、後見開始の申立てがあった場合において、成年被後見人となるべき者の財産の保全のため特に必要があるときは、当該申立てをした者の申立てにより、後見開始の申立てについての審判が効力を生ずるまでの間、成年被後見人となるべき者の財産上の行為（民法第九条ただし書に規定する行為を除く。第七項において同じ。）につき、前項の財産の管理者の後見を受けることを命ずることができる。
    <sup>art-126/par-2 · https://japanlaw.org/en/domestic-relations-case-procedure-act/art-126/par-2 · https://japanlaw.org/l/423AC0000000052/art-126/par-2</sup>
    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.
    <sup>Ministry of Justice translation — Japanese Law Translation Database System</sup>

    **第三項**  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。）をすることができる。
    <sup>art-126/par-3 · https://japanlaw.org/en/domestic-relations-case-procedure-act/art-126/par-3 · https://japanlaw.org/l/423AC0000000052/art-126/par-3</sup>
    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.
    <sup>Ministry of Justice translation — Japanese Law Translation Database System</sup>

    **第四項**  後見命令の審判は、第一項の財産の管理者（数人あるときは、そのうちの一人）に告知することによって、その効力を生ずる。
    <sup>art-126/par-4 · https://japanlaw.org/en/domestic-relations-case-procedure-act/art-126/par-4 · https://japanlaw.org/l/423AC0000000052/art-126/par-4</sup>
    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).
    <sup>Ministry of Justice translation — Japanese Law Translation Database System</sup>

    **第五項**  後見命令の審判は、成年被後見人となるべき者に通知しなければならない。この場合においては、成年被後見人となるべき者については、第七十四条第一項の規定は、適用しない。
    <sup>art-126/par-5 · https://japanlaw.org/en/domestic-relations-case-procedure-act/art-126/par-5 · https://japanlaw.org/l/423AC0000000052/art-126/par-5</sup>
    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.
    <sup>Ministry of Justice translation — Japanese Law Translation Database System</sup>

    **第六項**  審判の告知を受ける者でない者による後見命令の審判に対する即時抗告の期間は、第一項の財産の管理者が第四項の規定による告知を受けた日（二以上あるときは、当該日のうち最も遅い日）から進行する。
    <sup>art-126/par-6 · https://japanlaw.org/en/domestic-relations-case-procedure-act/art-126/par-6 · https://japanlaw.org/l/423AC0000000052/art-126/par-6</sup>
    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).
    <sup>Ministry of Justice translation — Japanese Law Translation Database System</sup>

    **第七項**  後見命令の審判があったときは、成年被後見人となるべき者及び第一項の財産の管理者は、成年被後見人となるべき者がした財産上の行為を取り消すことができる。この場合においては、制限行為能力者の行為の取消しに関する民法の規定を準用する。
    <sup>art-126/par-7 · https://japanlaw.org/en/domestic-relations-case-procedure-act/art-126/par-7 · https://japanlaw.org/l/423AC0000000052/art-126/par-7</sup>
    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.
    <sup>Ministry of Justice translation — Japanese Law Translation Database System</sup>

    **第八項**  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。

    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".
