A quick definition of family council:

A family council is a meeting where family members come together to talk about important things that affect the family. This can include making decisions about how to take care of a family member who needs help, or how to manage the family's money. It's a way for everyone to share their ideas and work together to make the best choices for the family.

A more thorough explanation:

A family council is a meeting where family members come together to discuss important matters and make decisions. It can be used in two different ways:

  1. In civil law, a family council is an advisory group that helps a court make decisions about family matters, such as guardianship for a minor or an incompetent adult. If the person in question has no relatives, the court may summon friends to serve on the council instead.
  2. In a family setting, a family council is a group of relatives who come together to advise a minor on their affairs and help manage their property.

For example, if a parent passes away and leaves behind a minor child, the family may hold a family council to decide who will become the child's legal guardian and how the child's inheritance will be managed. In this way, the family council serves as a way to ensure that the child's best interests are taken into account and that important decisions are made with input from all relevant family members.
