CC; Parte terza: Della protezione degli adulti; Titolo decimo: Delle misure precauzionali personali e delle misure applicabili per legge; Capo primo: Delle misure precauzionali personali; C. Convalida e accettazione
Art. 363 CC
Quando apprende che una persona è divenuta incapace di discernimento e ignora se sussiste un mandato precauzionale, l’autorità di protezione degli adulti si informa presso l’ufficio dello stato civile.
Qualora il mandato sussista, l’autorità di protezione degli adulti verifica se: 1. è stato validamente costituito; 2. ne sono adempiute le condizioni per l’efficacia; 3. il mandatario è idoneo ai suoi compiti; e 4. sono necessarie ulteriori misure di protezione degli adulti.
Se il mandatario accetta il mandato, l’autorità lo rende attento agli obblighi derivanti dalle disposizioni del Codice delle obbligazioni sul mandato e gli consegna un documento che attesta i poteri conferitigli.
