If you are 18 years or older and can no longer take care of part or all of your money matters, the court can appoint an administrator to manage these money matters. The court checks whether the administrator is doing this properly.

• the administrator determines the amount with which you can do your daily expenses such as shopping
• if you want to make a major purchase or sale of, for example, a car or house, you need the approval of your administrator and possibly the court. The same applies if you want to conclude a contract. Because these steps can have consequences for your money matters
• you remain competent; for example, you retain custody of children under the age of 18, you can write your own will and you can vote in elections
