That American Psychological Association has some informative handbooks (one for lawyers, one for judges and one for psychologists) to help you assess capacity in older adults. For lawyers this is a great tool to help determine whether a person has capacity to execute documents such as Wills, Powers of Attorney, Revocation of Power of Attorney, etc. It is also very useful to determine whether a guardianship (full or limited) is appropriate.
