Abstract

According to current regulations, that is, Law 1996 of 2019, there is a presumption by virtue of which all persons of legal age in Colombia are considered capable and can freely carry out legal acts, even if they are in a situation of mental or intellectual disability. However, this research work aims, from the study of medical and legal concepts, to determine if it can be considered that there is a manifestation of real and conscious will in people who, despite being considered capable, have a cognitive disease. that seriously affects their understanding of reality and their reasoning.
