El cambio de la figura de interdicción hacia la figura de la adjudicación judicial de apoyo en Colombia

Abstract

Because our society (of the 21th century) is dynamic, in other words, it is in constant movement or change as much as its culture as its norms, this generates the need to adapt to change and as a lawyer, it is a duty to update knowledge inherent in the exercise of the profession. In Colombia, a change arose in the regulations regarding disability in the elderly people, through the 1996 law of 2019, that establishes the regime for the exercise of the legal capacity of persons with disabilities over the age of majority, and the law 1306 of 2009 was mostly repealed, which dictated rules on the protection of people with mental disabilities and established the regime of legal representation of emancipated of incapable persons. As an object we are going to detect which are the changes and modifications arising from this new legislation, this being achieved through a conceptual study and a comparative analysis that will help out at the interpretation of these two normative texts, in which the repealed articles will be detailed so as civil law matters (in the Civil Code) and in procedural law matters (in the General Code of Process).
