Competency and the Elderly - Protecting Your Clients and Yourself

01/19/10 Ann Arbor | CLE: 2 | Level: Intermediate

Cosponsored by the Probate & Estate Planning Section and the Elder Law and Disability Rights Section of the State Bar of Michigan

Lawyers representing older clients need to assess in some cases the capability of the client to make decisions, to enter into contracts, to live on his or her own, or to perform other activities. Learn from our expert faculty how to determine whether competency is an issue and, if so, how to best protect the client.

Attend and learn to:

Understand the distinction between progressive diseases like dementia and situational conditions like illnesses or drug reactions
Distinguish among the various health care professionals who make competency determinations
Identify how medical, legal, and judicial determinations of competency differ
Deal with conflicting views regarding care issues for the vulnerable person
Reduce the potential for exploitation
Set a protocol to use when counseling older clients
