A form of discrimination is the request made by some notaries of a medical certification of the cognitive function for older people willing to carry out a legal procedure. This request has the sole effect of pre-establishing evidence in favor of the notary and not protecting the testator or the vulnerable person. Assessing the ability of older people to care for themselves and their possessions has important implications for them and their families, since there is a serious risk of prejudice when someone is declared as disabled.
