The adult guardianship system was introduced into Korean civil code in 2011 and will be put into force in July 2013. It is necessary for us to discuss how a so-called guardianship court which deals with matter of adult guardianship is designed for it in Korean judicial system. There can be three kinds of court which will be able to be proposed. One is the adult guardianship court which is separated from family court and established through the country, another a guardianship division in family court which is established in the every corner of the country, the third a family division in the court of ordinary. I believe that among them the third one is a practica one as the situation now stands.
However we must note that the detailed judicial processes for the matter of adult guardianship is much more valuable than the organization of a kind of court for that.
