Capacity Assessments
Decision-making Capacity
A capacity assessment may be required when there is reason to believe that an adult is unable to make their own decisions. An assessment may also be indicated when an adult previously found to lack capacity believes they have regained that ability.
Testamentary Capacity
Testamentary capacity refers to a person’s ability to make a last will and testament. An assessment may be indicated in a will dispute when there is reason to question whether the person making the will (the testator) had capacity when the will was executed. Assessments may also be undertaken proactively while a will is being prepared.
