What does it consist of?

Emancipation is a legal process that allows individuals over 16 years of age (and under 18) to manage their lives and assets as adults, albeit with certain restrictions. An emancipated minor cannot apply for loans, encumber or sell real estate, commercial or industrial businesses, or assets of high economic value without the authorization of their parents or guardians.

Necessary documentation

• National identity document of the parents.

• National identity document of the minor to be emancipated.

• The original family book.

If the minor has no known parents or they are deceased, they will be under legal guardianship. In this case, the guardian must appear at the notary with their valid national identity document and present the original testimony of the court order appointing them as guardian to formalize the emancipation.

In what situations can this service be used?

The reasons behind emancipations can vary, some of them may be:

• There are minors who, despite their status, show sufficient maturity to take care of themselves and make decisions autonomously.

• The minor themselves seeks emancipation, feeling the need to become independent.

• Parents wish for the minor to assume their own responsibilities. This decision may be driven by the minor's rebellious behavior or family tensions.
