Assessment of Older Adults with Diminished Capacity: A Handbook for Lawyers

The American Bar Association (ABA) Commission has reissued its popular handbook, Assessment of Older Adults with Diminished Capacity: A Handbook for Lawyers. The book offers attorneys a conceptual framework and a practical system for addressing problems of client capacity, in some cases with help from a clinician. This handbook is especially helpful for lawyers who are troubled by clients who may have subtle decisional problems and questionable judgments.

The cost of the handbook is $25.00. To order, email your request to the ABA Commission at abaaging@abanet.org or call (202) 662-8690.
