Medidas judiciales de apoyo a mayores con discapacidad
Abstract
Un porcentaje de personas que llegan a mayores van a necesitar de apoyos para el ejercicio de su capacidad jurídica. La mayoría se resolverán con los que se producen por el desarrollo natural de la vida como son los guardadores de hecho o a través del otorgamiento voluntario de apoyos a través de comparecencia ante notario.
De entre estas personas mayores un número significativo llegarán con alguna discapacidad, o la adquirirá durante la vejez y necesitará de medidas de apoyo para el ejercicio de su capacidad jurídica. La mayoría serán voluntarias, pero en determinados supuestos habrán de adquirirse judicialmente.
Debido a la desjudicialización del sistema, las medidas de apoyo judiciales a las personas mayores con discapacidad son subsidiarias de las voluntarias. De entre las medidas judiciales: La jurisdicción voluntaria es preferente a la jurisdicción contenciosa.
La persona mayor con discapacidad será tenida en cuenta en los expedientes y serán oídas sus voluntades y preferencias, sin perjuicio de que cuando esto no sea posible por estar elevadamente afectada su capacidad intelectual, las decisiones que se adopten judicialmente estarán supeditadas al mayor interés de la persona mayor con discapacidad.
Para facilitar el acceso de los ciudadanos mayores con discapacidad a los Tribunales y ver cumplido el artículo 24 de la Constitución deberían existir facilitadores judiciales en los juzgados a su servicio.
