Dementia has several legal effects under ecuadorian law. These effects are produced once dementia has been judicially established. The judge decides that a person suffers dementia based on a neurological report. When a neurologist elaborates such report, he has to take into account that legal concept of dementia resembles the medical concept of dementia.
