Abstract
The analysis performed in the article refers to the elderly who have been subjected to the institution of total incapacitation, in the context of selected effects of this legal institution. The article identifies some legal consequences of the institution of incapacitation, which seem to be the most important in the area of civil law, and at the same time severe for the elderly. The main one being the deprivation of the incapacitated person's full legal capacity, and the related consequences – deprivation of the incapacitated person's ability to make a will and deprivation of the possibility of marriage by an elderly person. Conclusions were formulated that the institution of total incapacitation is not an appropriate legal tool to protect the rights and interests of older people, and its consequences interfere too much in the legal sphere of these people. In addition, the existing legal system adequately protects the elderly. On the other hand, in the “operational area”, it is necessary to consider introducing an institution that will support a third party in civil law transactions, including representation and correction of defective actions performed by them.
