Quasi-incompetent person - Junkinchisansha

Japanese: 準禁治産者 - じゅんきんちさんしゃ

A person who is mentally impaired (a person who lacks normal judgment capacity, but not to the level of insanity) or who has a tendency to spendthrift, and who has been declared quasi-incompetent by a family court following a certain procedure. A type of person with limited legal capacity until the 1999 Civil Code amendment (→ Legal Capacity). With the amendment, the term quasi-incompetent was abolished, and people are now classified as persons under guardianship (→ Guardianship) or assistance (→ Assistance) depending on the degree of their lack of judgment capacity (→ Adult Guardianship System). In addition, since there has long been criticism of restricting the legal capacity of spendthrifts, the amendment means that they are no longer subject to guardianship. (→ Incompetent Persons)

心神耗弱者（心神喪失ほどではないが正常な判断能力を欠く者）または浪費癖のある者で，一定の手続きに従い家庭裁判所で準禁治産の宣告を受けた者。1999年の民法改正までの制限行為能力者の一種（→行為能力）。改正により準禁治産者という呼称は廃止され，判断能力の欠如の程度に応じて被保佐人（→保佐）と被補助人（→補助）に分類されることになった（→成年後見制度）。また，浪費者については以前から，行為能力を制限することに批判が多かったことから，同改正により，保佐の対象としないことになった。（→禁治産者）
