270. Where a person of full age receiving care or services from a health or social services establishment requires to be represented in the exercise of his civil rights by reason of his isolation, the foreseeable duration of his incapacity, the nature or state of his affairs or because no mandatary already designated by him gives him adequate representation, the executive director of the health or social services institution reports that fact to the Public Curator, transmits a copy of his report to the person of full age and so informs a person close to that person.
Such a report includes the medical and psychosocial assessments resulting from an examination of the person of full age; it deals with the nature of his incapacity, his faculties, his environment, the extent of his needs and the other circumstances of his condition, the advisability of instituting tutorship for him as well as the time limits for medical and psychosocial reassessments. It also sets out the names, if known, of the persons qualified to apply for the institution of tutorship.
