Can a doctor be appointed as a patient's guardian?

I read that the court is considering appointing a guardian for a person with a mental disorder, and a situation arose where the head of the hospital department where the patient is currently located is intended to be appointed as the guardian. However, I heard that relatives should be given preference, and the patient himself was against it. Is it legal to appoint a medical professional from the hospital where the person is being treated as their official guardian if this person has close relatives? Doesn't this create a conflict of interest or a violation of such a person's rights?

What to do if there's a date of birth error in documents?

Let's imagine I lost my passport, and while trying to restore it, it turned out that there's an error in my birth certificate regarding the year of birth (for example, 1952 instead of 1962). If the migration service cannot establish my identity due to such a discrepancy, but I have documents confirming who I am (old certificate, identification code, marriage documents, etc.), is it mandatory to obtain an official decision from the SMS stating the impossibility of identifying me before going to court? Or can I apply to court immediately with other supporting documents?

Abolition of EDRPOU and business rights

I read that the government plans to abolish EDRPOU and switch to some new unified registration system for all legal entities. I run a business and I'm worried: what does this mean for people like me? Will we need to carry out any additional procedures, submit documents, or re-register the enterprise due to this transition? How can I find out so as not to miss important changes and not get a fine due to some formality?

What will happen to EDRPOU and businesses after the changes?

I read that they plan to gradually cease EDRPOU and transition to a single register of legal entities. I am interested, will business owners or company executives need to additionally process anything or take any actions so that the registered information about our firm is not lost and everything remains legal after these changes? Will the state automatically transfer everything without our involvement?
