This article analyzes whether the exercise of the self-tutelage by the public administration has an established term to exercise this power, limiting this competence through caducidades and prescriptions; through a study of legal dogma and comparative law between the legislations of Spain, Mexico, Colombia and Ecuador, analyzing doctrinal and normative sources. The study begins by reviewing concepts, characteristics and generalities of the legal institutions of self-protection, forfeiture, and prescription; in order to subsequently compare them and point out their limits and scope. It is concluded that, in general terms, self-protection is the capacity of the public administration to review its own acts. The development of this research and the due application of instruments, methods and studies allowed determining that the figures of expiration and/or prescription are not applicable in the administrative self-protection, but only when an administrative procedure already exists; the limitation and scope is found in the already established norms and basic guarantees of due process.
