What are the bodies of guardianship and guardianship for?

The state is obliged to ensure the well-being of children, especially those who are left without parents or in families, where their rights are regularly violated. In order to monitor the clear discharge of their duties by parents or authorized persons, guardianship and trusteeship bodies were established. They relate to local self-government bodies and draw funds from the republican and local budgets intended for keeping children in foster families or supporting large families.

Legislation establishes certain tasks that the guardianship and trusteeship bodies must perform. For example, the protection of the rights of persons under guardianship, as well as the care of children in need of custody or other care. In addition, these bodies should monitor the activities of those who wished to become guardians. For this, regular checks and conversations with children are conducted. Particular attention is paid to citizens who are recognized as partially capable or completely incompetent, because they need careful care. This means that the conditions of life of such citizens and the level of their security are checked to the fullest extent. The bodies of guardianship and guardianship are responsible for the safety of the property of minor children, if any. Unfortunately, cases when guardians expel the owner of housing, thus violating his right of ownership, have become frequent. For unscrupulous caregivers, measures of responsibility are commensurate with the degree of their guilt. In such situations, disputes are usually resolved by the judicial authorities on the basis of a suit.

Since the tasks before the above organizations are difficult to achieve, the government has given them a wide range of powers. For example, the guardianship and trusteeship authorities (Moscow) have the right to conduct investigations to identify dysfunctional families that are registered. They notify the court of the existence of incapacitated persons by filing a suit, and also represent their interests in court. One of the main activities of this municipal service is the control over the activities of appointed guardians or trustees. First of all, the dwelling in which the child lives is checked by personal inspection of the premises.

The bodies of guardianship and trusteeship can conduct interviews with the wards in order to understand whether it does not offend him, whether the members of the family violate the rights of the child. In some cases, such organizations issue a special permit that allows a minor to live separately from officially appointed guardians. At the same time, if the trustee conscientiously fulfills his duties and provides a decent standard of living for the person, the state strives to provide maximum assistance. For this purpose, social payments are made, as well as assistance in material terms. In any situation, the interests of minor citizens are taken into account. For example, the bodies of guardianship and trusteeship of St. Petersburg and other cities do not allow the distribution of brothers and sisters to different families.
