In order for this to happen, the person must be incapacitated and a legal guardian must be appointed, which will usually fall on one of their children. This procedure must be done before a judge, who will ensure that the person is truly incapacitated, and that the person being appointed as guardian is the best possible person for the position.[/vc_column_text][mk_padding_divider size=”20″][mk_button_gradient dimension=”flat” size=”large” corner_style=”rounded” grandient_color_from=”#45b7d4″ grandient_color_to=”#45b7d4″ url=”https://patonyasociados.com/en/contact/” align=”center” el_class=”max400″]IN NEED OF A LAWYER WHO SPECIALISES IN INCAPACITATION AND GUARDIANSHIP?[/mk_button_gradient][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][mk_padding_divider][mk_custom_box background_hov_color_style=”image” elevation_effect=”true”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][mk_image src=”https://patonyasociados.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/p6-1.png” image_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”5/6″][mk_fancy_title size=”18″ font_family=”Ubuntu” font_type=”google”]WHAT TO DO IF…[/mk_fancy_title][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1569439842934{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]If we know a senior person that is affected by a cognitive ailment and we think it is necessary to declare their incapacity, the first thing we have to do is gather medical records that support our claims.
It is also possible to declare that a young person lacks mental capacity if they are severely ill or have been in a car accident which has led their mental abilities to be impaired.
Declaring that a person lacks mental capacity is a serious act, which is why a legal proceeding to appoint a guardian must not be initiated if there are any doubts concerning the mental capacities of the person in question.[/vc_column_text][/mk_custom_box][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][mk_padding_divider][mk_custom_box elevation_effect=”true”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][mk_image src=”https://patonyasociados.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/p7.png” image_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”5/6″][mk_fancy_title size=”18″ font_family=”Ubuntu” font_type=”google”]INCAPACITY AND GUARDIANSHIP EXAMPLES
