Reference: competent - compence/competency

Reference information:
competent
"adj. 1) in general, able to act in the circumstances, including the ability to perform a job or occupation, or to reason or make decisions. 2) in wills, trusts and contracts, sufficiently mentally able to understand and execute a document. [...] 3) in criminal law, sufficiently mentally able to stand trial..."
http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/competent

competence
"In United States law, competence concerns the mental capacity of an individual to participate in legal proceedings or transactions, and the mental condition a person must have to be responsible for his or her decisions or acts. Competence is an attribute that is decision specific. Depending on various factors which typically revolve around mental function integrity, an individual may or may not be competent to make a particular medical decision, a particular contractual agreement, to execute an effective deed to real property, or to execute a will having certain terms. Depending on the state, a guardian or conservator may be appointed by a court for a person who satisfies the state's tests for general incompetence, and the guardian or conservator exercises the incompetent's rights for the incompetent. [...] The word incompetent is used to describe persons who should not undergo certain judicial processes, and also for those who lack mental capacity to make contracts, handle their financial and other personal matters such as consenting to medical treatment, etc. and need a legal guardian to handle their affairs."

"*Competenza* è una traduzione per assonanza della parola inglese *competence*, con la quale si indica qualcosa di prossimo al concetto italiano di **capacità giuridica** o alle condizioni che la rendono possibile."

"[...] *legal competence* con riguardo a diritti e obbligazioni (re rights and obligations); qui la 'competenza' è sinonimo di **capacità giuridica**..."

"Il termine “capacità” identifica un concetto inteso in senso giuridico – per ciò detto anche “competenza legale” (competency nella terminologia anglosassone)-, che sta a indicare “qualcosa che distingue tra una persona che è in grado di prendere una decisione e la cui scelta va quindi rispettata (indipendentemente dalla ragionevolezza di tale decisione), e quella che necessita che altri decidano al suo posto”. Solo un giudice può pertanto dichiarare una personale legalmente incapace."
