title: [The legal aspects of the home death of an elderly person].
abstract: Most people would prefer to die at home. For several years, there have been laws aimed at guiding and providing a framework for the decisions and the steps to take in this situation. Health networks have also been created to help healthcare professionals organise, coordinate and support the palliative care of patients at home. This article presents the legal aspects.
