Amt für Kindes- und Erwachsenenschutz Kanton Zug

Kindes- und Erwachsenenschutzbehörde (KESB) – kantonale Behörde

Checked in August 2026

What this service does for you

Unlike Lucerne, the Canton of Zug has only one single cantonal KESB instead of several districts. It is responsible for reports of endangerment and adult protection measures in the whole canton. This becomes important if a person can no longer manage their own affairs after a stroke. Relatives can ask the authority to check if a deputyship is needed – even if they are unsure whether it is really necessary yet.
