OBA Elder Law PROGRAM | 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM (ET)

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!
