KOKES – Konferenz für Kindes- und Erwachsenenschutz

What this service does for you

As an intercantonal conference, KOKES coordinates the cantonal child and adult protection authorities. These are called KESB in German-speaking Switzerland, APEA in the French-speaking part, and ARP in Ticino. If a stroke permanently affects the capacity of judgment and there is no advance directive, the responsible authority can set up a deputy measure to manage finances and medical decisions. You can look up the organizational structures of the cantons on the website to find the right contact person where you live. When you contact them for the first time, it is useful to ask which documents are needed for an assessment.
