| description | The article aims to analyze landmark decisions of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) and the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) regarding the institution of guardianship following the enactment of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and the Statute of Persons with Disabilities (SPD), which brought profound changes to the incapacity system. The compatibility of these decisions with the guiding principles of the CRPD and the SPD will be assessed. It is observed that the Higher Courts ruled on issues subject to doctrinal and jurisprudential divergences, such as the possibility of declaring the absolute incapacity of adults or the extent of the effects of guardianship on existential acts. The study concludes that the decisions align with the objectives of preserving the autonomy and equal treatment of persons with disabilities. Moreover, they suggest approaches for judicial decision-making techniques that impose restrictions on capacity in a concrete and individualized manner, respecting the specificities and health conditions of the individual. |

The article aims to analyze landmark decisions of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) and the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) regarding the institution of guardianship following the enactment of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and the Statute of Persons with Disabilities (SPD), which brought profound changes to the incapacity system. The compatibility of these decisions with the guiding principles of the CRPD and the SPD will be assessed. It is observed that the Higher Courts ruled on issues subject to doctrinal and jurisprudential divergences, such as the possibility of declaring the absolute incapacity of adults or the extent of the effects of guardianship on existential acts. The study concludes that the decisions align with the objectives of preserving the autonomy and equal treatment of persons with disabilities. Moreover, they suggest approaches for judicial decision-making techniques that impose restrictions on capacity in a concrete and individualized manner, respecting the specificities and health conditions of the individual. Objetivo: o artigo tem como objetivo analisar decisões paradigmáticas do Supremo Tribunal Federal e do Superior Tribunal de Justiça sobre o instituto da curatela após a promulgação da Convenção dos Direitos da Pessoa com Deficiência – CDPD e do Estatuto da Pessoa com Deficiência – EPD, que promoveram profundas mudanças no sistema de incapacidades e no sistema de apoios. Método: após revisão bibliográfica e legislativa, procede-se à análise de jurisprudência pela qual se avalia a compatibilidade de decisões com os princípios norteadores da CDPD e do EPD. Três decisões foram selecionadas por meio de busca no sistema de pesquisa de jurisprudência dos respectivos tribunais. Para a seleção, as ementas foram analisadas e foram descartados acórdãos anteriores à promulgação do EPD e que não tratassem sobre as alterações promovidas na curatela. Conclusão: constata-se que os tribunais superiores decidiram sobre questões objeto de divergências doutrinárias e jurisprudenciais, como a possibilidade de declarar a incapacidade absoluta de adultos ou sobre a extensão dos efeitos da curatela a atos existenciais. Conclui-se que as decisões atendem aos objetivos de preservar a autonomia e o tratamento isonômico das pessoas com deficiência. Além disso, indicam caminhos para técnicas de tomada de decisões judiciais restritivas de capacidade, de forma concreta e individualizada, em respeito às peculiaridades e ao quadro de saúde da pessoa.
