Placement under interdiction: Protecting your loved ones

Placement under interdiction is a sensitive and significant legal procedure aimed at safeguarding the interests of individuals who, due to health conditions, are unable to care for themselves or manage their affairs. This legal institution, regulated by the Law on Individuals and Families and the Family Code, is not a form of punishment, but rather a mechanism designed to help those in vulnerable situations.

When is interdiction necessary?

Interdiction is applied when an individual suffers from dementia or mental illness, which makes them incapable of understanding the significance of their actions or of independently looking after their personal and property interests.

Legal doctrine recognizes two types of interdiction. Full interdiction is imposed in severe cases where the person is entirely unable to manage their affairs, while partial interdiction applies to milder forms of illness where the impairment is not as profound.

Under full interdiction, a person loses all legal capacity and is deprived of the right to perform legal actions. In these situations, a guardian is appointed to fully care for the individual’s person and property.

With partial interdiction, the person retains some capacity and can perform legal actions, but only with the consent of a trustee.

The procedure for placing an individual under interdiction requires a professional approach and careful preparation. The process includes both judicial and administrative proceedings for appointing a guardian or trustee, depending on the type of interdiction.
