What this service does for you
As the KESB authority for the Aarau district, the Familiengericht Aarau is responsible for the city of Aarau itself as well as for Biberstein, Buchs, Densbüren, Erlinsbach, Gränichen, Hirschthal, Küttigen, Muhen, Oberentfelden, Suhr, and Unterentfelden. If someone can no longer manage their financial or personal affairs after a severe stroke, this court checks whether a guardianship is necessary. Relatives can get in touch if they want to report a concern or if they want to become a guardian themselves. In Aargau, the Familiengerichte of the district courts generally handle the tasks of the KESB. There are no separate authorities like in other cantons.
