Disability and support measures

Spain's 2021 reform changed how people with disabilities are protected. We guide you in requesting the support your relative really needs.

What we do

Since 2021, legal incapacitation no longer exists in Spain: instead there are support measures that respect the person's wishes and autonomy. As a result, many families who used to act as guardians now need to ask the court for support measures or authorisations for everyday matters.

We explain which measure fits your case, prepare the court file and support you throughout the procedure.

Common cases

  • Applying for support measures (curatorship, de facto guardianship)
  • Reviewing former guardianships and incapacitation rulings
  • Court authorisations to manage money or property
  • Decisions about medical treatment
