Navigate the complex challenges of serving aging clients facing early neurocognitive decline and the escalating risk of undue influence.

We will provide actionable, evidence-based strategies for:
  • Assessing and documenting client capacity in the face of dementia
  • Identifying and countering suspicious patterns of undue influence
  • Implementing drafting techniques to withstand scrutiny; and
