Civil Act — Article 13 (Acts of persons under limited guardianship and consent)

민법 제13조

(1) The Family Court may determine the scope of acts for which a person under limited guardianship shall obtain consent from his or her limited guardian.

(2) The Family Court may change the scope of acts for which a limited ward must obtain consent from his or her guardian under limited guardianship under paragraph (1) upon the application of the principal, his or her spouse, his or her first cousin or closer relative, guardian under limited guardianship, supervisor of limited guardianship, public prosecutor, or the head of a local government.

(3) When a guardian under limited guardianship fails to give consent to any act that requires his or her consent despite the possibility of infringing upon the interest of the person under limited guardianship, the Family court may, upon the application of the person under limited guardianship, grant permission that substitutes for the consent of the guardian under limited guardianship.

(4) When a person under limited guardianship has done a juristic act that requires the consent of a guardian under limited guardianship without the consent of the guardian, such juristic act may be revoked; provided, this shall not apply to any juristic act necessary for everyday life and the price for which is not excessive, such as the purchase of daily necessities.[This Article Wholly Amended on Mar. 7, 2011]
