Of the cases assisted by the Office of Intervention and Counseling, an issue worth discussing is incapacitation. Incapacitation A person under plenary guardianship is a partial or total deprivation of legal capacity, which is only possible after a court hearing. A person is placed under plenary guardianship if, as a result of a mental illness, mental retardation or other mental disorder, in particular drunkenness or drug addiction, he or she is unable to manage his or her own affairs, whereas a person is placed under partial guardianship if, as a result of a mental illness, mental retardation or other mental disorder, in particular drunkenness or drug addiction, and his or her condition does not justify plenary guardianship, but assistance is needed to manage his or her affairs.

The application for incapacitation must be accompanied by documents making it probable that the person subject to the application for incapacitation has a mental illness, mental retardation or other mental disorder. This is one of the more serious proceedings, therefore it is necessary to have an expert opinion of a psychiatrist or neurologist and a psychologist. Although it is the court that issues the verdict in the case, the court medical opinion is the most important evidence. Legal incapacitation is always a last resort, as it interferes with the basic attribute of an individual, which is the ability and possibility to manage one's own affairs.

To summarize this report, civil cases in the general sense predominated in October. The cases involved both pre-litigation, litigation, and enforcement stages, which shows that legal assistance is necessary for both day-to-day life issues and specific litigation that those seeking assistance are not familiar with and do not know how to approach the issues involved.
