For many people, the aging process comes with many challenges. Elderly people may be faced with dementia, Alzheimer's, stroke or other medical conditions. These conditions may prevent them from having the mental capacity to make decisions on their own.

Unfortunately, this lack of capacity opens a window of opportunity for unscrupulous people. These people may exert undue influence to make themselves beneficiaries of estates. This is one of the major reasons for will and trust contests. 

Our Cleveland lack of capacity attorneys will listen to your concerns and help determine if someone took advantage of a loved one's lack of capacity. We will take action to protect the proper beneficiaries.
