Legal procedure for modification of capacity (incapacitations)

When going to court in order to incapacitate a loved one is necessary

Despite the fact that incapacitations are not expressly regulated in Inheritance Law, the increased life expectancy  and degenerative cognitive diseases such as Alzheimer’s, dementias, etc., and the fact that they could not be planned or prevented, makes it necessary in certain cases to institute a legal procedure for the modification of capacity, known as incapacitations.

There are two main lines of this type of procedure: 

  • The recognition of the loss of capacity
  • The appointment of a guardian

In Gabarró Advocats -Herències- we provide advice and defend you in the judicial procedure of modification of  capacity, either as the defendant or as the person wishing to be appointed guardian.
