Topic:  Capacity issues; protecting against potential litigation or how to prepare should the advisor be called as a witness

About the presentation: Capacity Issues; Protecting Against Potential Litigation And How To Prepare Should The Advisor Be Called As A Witness Financial advisors who work with clients suffering from diseases that can affect their capacity such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, vascular disease, strokes and the like can offer great challenges. As a financial advisor, you may feel baffled by the client’s inability to understand simple questions or respond to requests for simple information. Family member may attend these meetings and attempt to handle questions or articulate concerns on behalf of your client.  Family members may be confused as to how to move an aging and demented parent from their home that is no longer safe, or force them to take medications that they resist. They may turn to the financial advisor to assist with questions of the cost of care and the best types of care for their loved ones. Family members may turn to the financial advisor in search of a solution. Not only do these clients pose unique ethical considerations for the financial advisor, the financial advisor may be baffled as to how to talk these types of clients or know how to help them or know where to turn for the resources they may need. Furthermore, long after the client’s death, the financial advisor may be called into testify as to decisions that were made and whether the client had capacity to make the financial decisions that were made.

Learning Objective: In this session, attorney Christine A. Alsop will provide participants the information they need to know to look for the red flags and other telltale signs that the client may lack capacity. She will discuss how these clients should be approached and what can be done to protect should future litigation become possible. Also, if called to testify, Christine will discuss how best to arm yourself for questions that directly challenge the handling of your client’s financial concerns.

Level of Complexity: This session is appropriate for all levels.
