Recognition of a person as partially incapacitated: how the procedure works

The procedure for recognising a person as partially incapacitated is a legal process initiated to protect the interests of a person who, due to their mental state, is unable to fully understand the significance of their actions or control them. This status can only be granted by a court decision and exclusively on the basis of medical conclusions.

An application to the court for recognition of partial incapacity may be filed by a close relative, a guardianship or custody authority, or another interested person. The application must be accompanied by documents confirming the state of health, such as certificates from a psychiatrist, extracts from medical records, and a character reference from the place of residence.

Legal support at this stage is important because the speed of the case and a positive court decision depend on the correct submission of documents.

The procedure for recognising a person as partially incapacitated requires clear legal support due to the court proceedings and the involvement of experts.

The Consultant legal marketplace allows you to choose a specialist who will provide quality assistance at every stage of this complex case.

What rights does a partially incapacitated person have under Ukrainian law?

Recognition of a person as partially incapacitated does not mean a complete loss of their rights. The law allows such a person to perform certain actions independently, in particular:

dispose of personal belongings;
receive social benefits;
enter into minor domestic agreements.

At the same time, all important decisions related to the disposal of property, obtaining loans, concluding contracts or changing place of residence must be made with the participation of a guardian.

A guardian is appointed by the guardianship authorities after the court decision comes into force. They are responsible for providing legal support and protecting the interests of the incapacitated person, reporting on expenses and actions to state authorities.
