After the death of Fernando Fernández Tapias at the age of 84, the media have echoed the tense family relationship that exists between the businessman's widow, Núria González, and his older children from previous marriages. Days after learning the news about the businessman, González issued a statement to protect the family's privacy.

Beyond the family disputes, family and friends have attended the mass in memory of the businessman, without exception, in the Jesuit church on Serrano street at 8 p.m. The presence of Fernando Fernández Tapias' eldest children has been especially surprising, given that he had left in writing in his last wishes that his eldest children would not attend his farewell, which did not sit well with his children. he Fernando, Íñigo and Borja.
The first point of the statement refers to the incapacitation of the patriarch by the children. At this point they state that the incapacitation process was initiated on September 29, 2020 jointly and by consensus due to an “obvious deterioration in their cognitive capacity, with the sole purpose of protecting their interests and assets and avoiding any impairment of their rights.” and/or use by any third party of their delicate situation.”

In that resolution, with agreement with all parties, “a guardian was appointed for the economic, legal and administrative fields of Don Fernando Fernández-Tapias Román”, a detail that was not known until now.
