Does Your Loved One Need a Conservatorship? Start With a Medical Evaluation.
A conservatorship is a court process that gives a person legal authority to manage the finances, health care decisions, or daily affairs of someone who can no longer safely manage their own. Families weighing this step need an objective clinical starting point. A physician-conducted capacity evaluation establishes whether — and to what extent — a loved one’s cognitive and functional abilities support independent decision-making, giving the family a documented basis for its next step.

What Capacity Evaluations and Expert Medical Input Do Attorneys Need for Conservatorship Filings?
Elder law attorneys and firms preparing a conservatorship petition can request capacity evaluations, formal declarations, and expert medical input built to filing requirements. When a case calls for it, attorneys can also retain Dr. Sonya for medical expert witness work — expert medical testimony and related clinical input, drawing on her 20+ years as a medical-legal expert witness and consultant. Best MD House Calls provides the medical services; case strategy and the legal filing itself remain the attorney’s responsibility.
