Significant Relationship: missing entities

There are other significant relationships, notably:

  • legal tutors (replace partially or totally the responsability of a Concerned person, e.g. because of illness or incapacity, and taking some decisions for them),
  • designated legal administrators (e.g. after a condamnation that restricts or prohibits some actions or communications),
  • an authorized proxy for the Concerned person themselves (e.g. their lawyer),
  • legators (e.f. after the death of a significant relative that was a Concerned person),
  • legal auditors or experts (that may be designated by a court order, generally professionals with their own commercial interests, and which may be the only reliable and responsible party durint their mandate, to disclose or assert the informations required under the policy, instead of the Concerned person;
  • a concerned person may also be restricted or forbidden to do some actions themselves, especially if that Concerned person is held in custody, or in any position making them unable to complete their obligations. E.g. as an hostage, or with strict travel restrictions from remote areas like during the Covid-19 lockdowns or after major disasters, wars or civil conflicts, and left with limited communications, reduced local resources and absence of a sufficient legal assistance (so that they could designate a proxy or could be forced to accept one without real choice, e.g. coming from their own home government or a designated embassy/consulate in the remote country or region where they are forced to remain for some undetermined time: their first priority and interest is effectively to find a way to get back home and in security).
