Securing Property Transitions in the Age of Incapacity

Incapacity Risk Undermines Property Transactions

Your business faces constant threat from the "grey zone" of diminished capacity: the period where an elderly client's capacity to sign papers is ambiguous. Lack of legal clarity and standardized vetting leads to canceled sales, delayed closings, and legal challenges over whether a client truly had the capacity to authorize a listing, mortgage, or property transfer.

This uncertainty exposes your firm and clients to litigation risk, financial loss, and ethical dilemmas.
