What does it consist of?

Guardianship documents indicate to the judicial authority who should protect the interests of a person in these circumstances. In the absence of a guardianship document, the law guides the judicial authority without considering the preferences of the individual or their parents.

Although, in some cases, the law establishes who the legal representative will be, such as in the case of minors, whose parents take care of their well-being and represent them in relevant matters.

Available options include the appointment of a guardian by parents, self-guardianship, preventive powers of attorney, protected estates, and advance directives (living will).

Required Documentation

• National Identity Document of the parent or parents.

• Original family book.

In what situations can this service be used?

At various stages of life, such as childhood, certain illnesses, or old age, it may be necessary for another person to intervene to protect the interests of someone in those circumstances.
