What does it involve?

Guardianship documents inform the judicial authority who should protect the person's interests in these circumstances. In the absence of a guardianship document, the law guides the judicial authority without regard for the preferences of the person or their parents.

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

Available options include appointment of a guardian by parents, self-guardianship, advance directives, protected estates, and advance healthcare directives (living wills).

Necessary Documentation

• National identity document of the parent(s).

• The original family record book.

In what situations can this service be used?

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