Acts performed by the representative curator requiring judicial authorization.

Abstract

The entry into force of Law 8/2021, of June 2, has meant a substantial change in the legal perspective of people with disabilities, eliminating judicial incapacitation and altering the system of protective charges, establishing a system of support measures. The support measures include voluntary, informal and judicial measures, the latter being the curatorship, which will normally be of a purely welfare nature and, exceptionally, representative. The representative curator acts on behalf of the person with a disability, the Civil Code requiring prior judicial authorization for certain acts and subsequent judicial approval for others. The purpose of this article is to examine the main developments and changes made in the regulation of acts defined in article 287 of the Civil Code, with respect to the previous article 271.
