Lamb, J.D., discusses how lawyers can record the information available, consider alternative documents and note details a client cannot provide.
He also addresses capacity concerns through questions that invite fuller answers, written medical opinions and warning signs in the Law Society of Ontario’s capacity and undue influence risk assessment toolkit. The presentation cautions lawyers against assuming that age alone indicates a lack of capacity.
Michael Lamb was called to the bar in 1986. His practice also includes litigation, having appeared before the Ontario Court of Appeal, and teaching as an adjunct professor of real estate law at Western University. He is Chair of the Elder Abuse London Middlesex Network.
