Elder adults

We provide legal advice and representation focused on protecting older adults, promoting protective measures, supporting child support cases, and preparing advance directives. We also handle asset protection processes, guardianship appointments, and disability declarations when necessary to ensure their safety. Our support aims to safeguard their health, dignity, and assets, providing comprehensive and responsible assistance during this stage of life.

Services

Advance directives

Advance directives are statements made by an individual to establish their wishes regarding their health, care, and estate planning, in case they are unable to express these wishes themselves in the future. We handle the proper processing of these directives and the structuring of the necessary safeguards to ensure that their medical and financial decisions are respected.

Declaration of disability and appointment of guardian

When an elderly person is no longer able to express their will due to illness or age-related decline and it becomes necessary to make decisions about their assets, care, or legal representation, we activate the appropriate judicial mechanisms.

We manage the necessary processes to appoint the person who will represent you, guaranteeing the safeguarding of your dignity and assets.

Food for seniors

Elderly people in vulnerable situations can demand that their spouses, children, and even siblings fulfill their obligation to provide support. This obligation is not limited to food but also includes age-related needs such as medical care, treatments, medications, and special care. In these cases, it is possible to initiate legal proceedings to establish support payments against legally obligated family members, thus guaranteeing their well-being and dignity.

Protective measures for the elderly

When violence against older adults occurs, it is possible to request immediate protection measures against physical or psychological abuse, even when this abuse comes from family members. In these cases, urgent intervention is essential to safeguard their integrity, dignity, and rights, activating the necessary legal mechanisms to guarantee their safety and well-being.

Emergencias de vida o muerte

Además de los anteriores servicios, intervenimos en situaciones excepcionales de abandono, falta de cuidados o  emergencias médicas en las que una persona adulta mayor enfrenta un riesgo real e inmediato de muerte.
