The law regulates the procedure for establishing guardianship over the property of persons who are declared missing or disappeared under special circumstances. Amendments are made to the Civil Code, the laws “On Notaries”, “On Banks and Banking Activities”, and “On the Legal Status of Persons Missing under Special Circumstances”.
Structurally, the law consists of two sections: the first contains amendments to legislative acts, the second contains final provisions. The main changes relate to notaries’ powers regarding property guardianship, the procedure for appointing guardians, and access to banking information.
Key innovations:
– Notaries are empowered to establish guardianship over the property of missing persons by describing the property and appointing a guardian
– Only one guardian can be appointed for the property
– Notaries gain access to banking information regarding accounts, deposits, and property of missing persons
– A unified register of missing persons is created, containing information about appointed guardians
