The abolition of incapacitation and guardianship with the introduction of the Law of Betreuung in 1992 has already brought the right of self-determination of affected adults with impairments into focus. Through the CRPD and the participation of persons with disabilities, quality and implementation deficits in legal representation/Betreuung have been scientifically investigated. This has made it clear that the right of self-determination must be strengthened and must be expressed more clearly in the wording of the law. The article presents the current Law of Betreuung and the reform debate on it.
