Guardianship of parents: Responsibility and care in difficult times
The aging process is natural and inevitable for every person. As our parents age, they become less independent, their health deteriorates, and sometimes they need constant care and support. This is a difficult period that poses an important question to us: how can we ensure decent care and custody for those who once cared for us? This is where the need for guardianship of parents arises.
Guardianship over parents is not just a legal procedure, but a manifestation of respect, love and responsibility towards the people who gave us life. This is an opportunity to thank them for everything they have done for us, ensuring their well-being and dignity in their later years.
