The Legal Guardianship Association

The Legal Guardianship Association

is a non-profit organization, endowed with legal personality, headquartered in Bolzano.

It was founded at the end of 2010 by a group of professionals from various disciplines (medicine, economics, law, and social work) to promote a listening and support point for families, support administrators, and beneficiaries of legal protection measures.

Over the years, the Association has gained valuable expertise in the legal protection of vulnerable individuals, enabling it to provide more comprehensive and targeted support to families, social and health services, and support administrators, whether family members or third parties to the family nucleus of the beneficiary.

The Association offers a free initial consultation to all individuals interested in starting the support administration procedure and to those who have already taken on this role.

For its members, the Association promotes:

• Guidance in the appointment procedure of the Guardian
• Professional assistance in drafting and submitting the documents that the Guardian must present to the supervisory judge (reports, applications, inventories)
• Peer counseling sessions
• Promotion of ad hoc projects
• Publications and informational material

In terms of awareness-raising and training, the Association annually organizes conferences and seminars aimed at deepening certain issues related to Guardianship. Since 2013, free training courses have been organized throughout the provincial territory.
