Capacity, Conservatorship & Guardianship

Capacity is a clinical question with legal consequences — it deserves more than a bedside impression.

Dr. Campbell evaluates decision-making capacity in probate and civil contexts: conservatorship and guardianship proceedings, capacity to consent to treatment or contract, and related probate questions — including testamentary capacity and undue-influence matters — where a person's cognitive status determines their legal standing. Neuropsychological measurement matters here — distinguishing normal aging, mild cognitive impairment, and dementia changes outcomes.

Reports map findings directly onto the legal standard at issue, so the court can see not just a diagnosis but the functional abilities the statute actually asks about.
