OBA Elder Law PROGRAM | On Demand
Original Program Date: December 3, 2025
Evaluating a client’s capacity to instruct counsel and make other legal decisions is complex. Legal capacity may differ depending on time, situation or the decision to be made. Ultimately, a lawyer must make their own assessment, while not discriminating based on age, disability or other protected grounds.
Join our experts as they walk you through real-life scenarios and provide you with essential guidance on:
- Assessing capacity, the role of capacity assessments and documenting your determination;
- How to spot “red flags”;
- Disability accommodation considerations;
- How to navigate the legal steps when your client is incapable.
Packed with practical advice and valuable insights, this program is a must for every lawyer, particularly those dealing with vulnerable or aging clients. Register now to secure your spot!
