When it makes sense to call me
If any of these sound familiar, let’s talkA relative needs support to make decisions and you do not know where to start.
You have an old incapacity ruling that needs reviewing.
You want to set out in advance who will support you if one day you cannot decide.

Frequently asked questions
Does judicial incapacitation still exist?+
Not as it once did. Since the 2021 reform the system is built on supporting the person's will rather than replacing it. Older rulings must be reviewed to bring them into line with the current model.
What is self-appointed curatorship?+
It means stating in a public deed who you want to support you and how, in case you ever need it. It is one of the most reassuring decisions you can take with time to spare.
Do you always have to go to court?+
No. Many support arrangements are set up before a notary. Only when there is no agreement, or the situation demands it, do we go to court — and then it is prepared with expert reports and with the person's own wishes at the front.
Tell me about your case and I’ll tell you where to start
We talk with no commitment and no legalese, by video call or across València province.
Losing someone is hard enough. My job is to keep the paperwork and the difficult decisions from becoming a second loss.
