Guardianship Representative Standing to Appeal Supervisory Decision on Asset Management

The court addressed the standing of a legal representative to appeal a decision by the guardianship authority concerning the asset management of a person under care, specifically where a higher supervisory authority had overturned the original guardianship decision. The court reasoned that the guardianship authority itself lacks standing to appeal decisions from the lower supervisory authority unless costs imposed upon it are concerned, leading to the dismissal of its appeal. Conversely, a legal representative is entitled to appeal a guardianship authority's decision if the appeal safeguards the interests of the person under care or directly affects the representative's own rights; in this case, because the supervisory authority questioned the representative's fulfillment of their duty to consult third parties regarding asset management, the representative was deemed legitimate to appeal due to the direct impact on their official conduct.
