English translation:guardianship order
Explanation:
A Guardianship Order authorises a person, or several persons, to act on behalf of and make ongoing decisions for an adult with incapacity, in order to safeguard their wellbeing and promote their interests. This may be where an adult has lost the capacity to make their own decisions, usually as a result of a physical or mental illness. In this context, an adult is someone who is 16 or over but is unable to look after their own affairs. https://www.davidcclapham.co.uk/what-is-a-guardianship-order...

Explanation:
I am pretty sure that this is what it is in the UK, but I am not clear if it is enduring or lasting POA. But that's what it is called when a relative or professional has the authority to act on another person's behalf should the latter no longer have mental capacity.
