sikhim Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Unfortunately I cannot at the moment find a link that explains it in English but this looks to me like the equivalent of an English EPA (starting in January 2009)see link in French: http://www.service-public.fr/actualites/00688.html?xtor=EPR-140This has to be a major improvement on the present French system of "tutelles"Dominique Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franky Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Many thanks to all, this should certainly help me on my way, however I have one question that you may know the answer to :- in the uk I believe that you can have all of the forms signed and registered but not make use of the power granted until such time as the person (s) nominated deem it appropriate,. This leaves the future protected person still able to carry out their normal day to day activities i.e. paying bills, using credit cards etc.for as long as they are able. Is it the same in France?. I appreciate that any responses given are not law! I am just seeking a little guidance.Franky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does not come into effect until the court decides that the subject is no longer capable of handling some or all of their affairs. As this is France the whole thing is massively complicated, but have a look at the website -- vos droits mandat de protection future . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franky Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Many thanks once again! I will certainly take a look, however from other sites that I have looked at it does appear as you say complicated and from what I understand it is also a question of interpretation of the actual law. I guess in the end I will have to approach a lawyer for clarification (hate to think what that will cost!)Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
