Criticism of the Joint Chief Guardian Board for the municipalities of Skellefteå, Norsjö, Malå, Arjeplog and Arvidsjaur for inadequate justification of a decision to prohibit the use of a future power of attorney

A Chief Guardian Board decided to prohibit the use of a future power of attorney for certain actions. According to the Parliamentary Ombudsman, the reasons for the decision are so inadequate that it is impossible to understand why the board felt that the ban was necessary. The Chief Guardian Board is criticised for failing to provide the clarification required by the Administrative Procedure Act.
