日本内阁周五批准了一项民法修正案草案，旨在废除成年监护制度中的终身任命原则。此举旨在更好地反映认知障碍患者的需求和状况。
在现行制度下，监护关系在被监护人生前无法终止，这导致监护人即使在监护目的仅限于遗产继承等特定事务时，仍能持续控制其日常开支。修订后的法律将监护、保佐和辅助这三类支持制度简化为单一的辅助类别，由家庭法院指定监护人并明确其行动范围。
监护人必须每年提交状况报告，法院将在被监护人不再需要支持时终止相关安排。家庭成员也可申请终止监护。截至2025年12月，约有25.9万人使用该系统。
此次修订还允许通过智能手机和个人电脑订立电子遗嘱，不再依赖手写遗嘱。

New guidelines for life-sustaining treatment have been proposed in Japan, focusing on procedures for deciding whether to continue treatment after discussions with patients and families. The recommendations do not define the end of life.
Deputies on the social affairs commission approved, on February 4, the creation of a right to assisted dying, nearly identical to the version adopted in May 2025. Rejected by the Senate last week, this bill returns for second reading at the National Assembly, sparking intense debates on end-of-life issues.
The Senate chamber unanimously approved, with 31 votes in favor, the constitutional reform creating the Judicial Appointments Council and modifying judicial governance. The bill, pushed by the government in October 2024 after the Audio case scandal, aims to introduce radical changes in judge selection and judicial administration. Senators from various parties backed the initiative, though they requested indications for its refinement.
