A Note on Capacity
I am experienced in coordinating signings in assisted living, memory care, rehabilitation, hospice, and hospital environments where additional sensitivity and patience may be required.
I do not assess legal or medical capacity. That determination remains the responsibility of the client’s physician and legal counsel.
I observe signing conditions carefully and will not proceed when clear concerns exist. Any concerns are communicated to the referring attorney.
