Mental Capacity in Practice

Testamentary Capacity refers to an individual’s legal mental capacity to create or amend their Will. In cases where there is either a reasonable belief that the individual may lack capacity to complete their Will, or that there may be challenges to the Will in future, it is best practice to request an Independent Mental Capacity Assessment to safeguard the decision.
