What changed
This law modifies the Aragonese Code of Foral Law to align rules on the legal capacity of persons with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. It replaces the concept of incapacitation with a support-based model, strengthens the use of guardianship of fact for everyday decisions including healthcare, and adapts family and inheritance law provisions related to disability.
Who is affected
People with physical, mental, intellectual, or sensory disabilities in Aragon are directly affected, as the law transforms the legal framework governing how their personal and financial decisions are made and supported.
What to look out for
→ Persons with disabilities and their families should review existing legal arrangements (tutorships, incapacitations) that may need to be updated to the new support-based framework. Legal advisors can assist with transitions under the new rules.
