Abstract
La aprobación de la Ley 8/2021, de 2 de junio, por la que se reforma la legislación civil y procesal para el apoyo a las personas con discapacidad para el ejercicio de su capacidad jurídica, ha supuesto la implantación en nuestro Ordenamiento jurídico de un nuevo paradigma de modelo de dis-capacidad, tal y como se prevé en la Convención sobre los Derechos de las Personas con Discapacidad, celebrada en Nueva York el 13 de diciembre de 2006, inspirado en los mecanismos de asistencia a las personas con necesidades.El punto de partida de dicha reforma es la desaparición de la regulación legal de cualquier declara-ción judicial de modificación de la capacidad de las personas. En este sentido, el sistema implantado gira en torno a la sustitución del tradicional sistema de representación en la toma de decisiones por el sistema de asistencia y apoyo previsto en la Convención donde la pieza clave de dicho sistema es atender principal-mente a la voluntad, deseos y preferencias de la persona con discapacidad. Para atender a dicho objetivo, se han suprimido los antiguos procedimientos de modificación de la capacidad por un expediente de juris-dicción voluntaria y un procedimiento especial de adopción de medidas judiciales de apoyo. El legislador ha otorgado una relevancia fundamental a la jurisdicción voluntaria, dando preferencia a dicho procedi-miento y atribuyendo el carácter de subsidiario al procedimiento contencioso contemplado en la LEC.En el presente estudio, se analiza, sin pretender agotar la vasta temática, además del fundamento y el marco jurídico aplicable de dicha reforma, también los procedimientos de adopción de medidas de apoyo profundizando en el proceso especial regulado en la LEC.
The approval of Law 8/2021, 2 June, which reforms the civil and procedure legislation for the support of persons with disabilities in the exercise of their legal capacity, has resulted in the implementation of a new vision of the model of disability in our legal system, as established in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, celebrated in New York on 13 December of 2006, inspired on the mechanisms of support for persons with disabilities. The departure point of this reform is the extinction of the legal regulation in relation to any legal declaration which modifies the legal capacity of persons. In this sense, the implemented system substitutes the traditional system of representation regarding the decision-making process by the system of aid and support planned in the Convention, being the main concern of this system to look after the willingness, the desire and the preferences of the person with disabilities. To focus on this goal, the former proceedings regarding the modification of the legal capacity through a voluntary jurisdiction proceeding, establishing a special proceeding on the adoption of judicial measures of support. The lawmaker has given a great importance to the voluntary jurisdiction proceedings, placing priority to them over the contentious proceedings under the Spanish procedural law, which has a subsidiary character. The current essay will develop, not intending to exhaust the vast topic, the basis and the legal framework of application to the reform as well as the proceedings of the adoption of specialized support regulated in the Spanish procedural law.
