Betreuungsverfügung beglaubigen lassen

You can have the care directive officially notarized.

If you require a guardian to manage your affairs, the court will also hear you as part of the guardianship proceedings on the question of who you would like as your guardian. If you are no longer able to express yourself, the court must take into account any wishes you have previously expressed.

In this case, you can make a written advance care directive, also known as a "care directive". In it, you can specify who should be your guardian. You can also specify who should not be considered as a caregiver under any circumstances.

In addition to any wishes you may have regarding the person who should be your guardian, you can also specify further requirements for a later care case in a care directive. For example, you can make instructions on the following questions:

Do I want to maintain my standard of living in the event of care? Should my assets be used up if necessary?
Do I want to live in a particular home if I have to go into care?
Who would I like to be looked after by in the event of needing care?

These are just suggestions. Your individual situation is decisive.

Note: For reasons of proof, the care directive should be drawn up in writing and signed by you with the place and date.

Having your signature notarized can increase the acceptance of a power of attorney that you have issued. You can have your care directive notarized by the local care authority. However, public certification cannot replace notarization in all cases.

Tip: Involve a notary in complicated legal matters and seek legal advice if necessary.

The guardianship authority receives a fee of EUR 10.00 for certification.

• Go to the care authority in person with the care directive and your identity document.
• In the presence of the staff member ("notary public"), you personally put your signature on the documents to be signed.
• The notary compares your identity and signature and affixes an authentication note and the official seal to the documents.
