La falta de regulación de la interdicción de adultos con discapacidad intelectual permanente.

Abstract

In Ecuadorian legislation, the interdiction of adults with permanent intellectual disabilities is not regulated. There is a need to implement the institution of guardianship for this group of people, since the implications of their condition do not allow them to take care of themselves, which is an obvious legal problem, since the lack of designation of a guardian has as a consequence the limitation of the effective fulfillment of their rights because adults with mental and intellectual disabilities permanently need a person to take care of their interests and legal rights, especially when their parents die. In this complexive work, it is examined if there really is a legal void, if this regulation is necessary and why. Therefore, the need to regulate this singular case is analyzed and substantiated, through the analytical and deductive method that allows studying the special case of people with permanent intellectual disability in the institutions of interdiction and curatorship.
