De-Risking the Practice of Incapacity Planning

Uncertainty Undermines Legal Integrity and Increases Liability

You are routinely forced to operate in the "grey zone" of diminished capacity: the high-risk period where a client's capacity to execute or activate a POA is questioned. This systemic flaw—driven by a lack of standardization and clear capacity protocols—creates the perfect environment for POA fraud, misuse, and costly litigation challenging the integrity of the documents you drafted.

This uncertainty exposes your firm to malpractice risk, lost time in court, and difficulty in providing peace of mind to your clients.
