Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine and the Japan Decision Support Promotion Organization have jointly developed a checklist of will ability to establish a decision-making ability evaluation for patients with dementia.The number of lawsuits to confirm the invalidity of wills of dementia patients is increasing rapidly, and it is likely to attract attention because establishing the decision-making ability evaluation of the person who made the will is an issue for the aging society.
According to Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine, the will ability checklist is a list of items that legal professionals such as lawyers, tax accountants, and judicial scriveners check from a medical point of view to see if there is a problem with the decision-making ability of a person who will make a will. So, I am trying to roughly grasp the will ability.
After being checked by a legal profession, a clinical psychologist with specialized training will conduct a cognitive function test and a screening test to check the judgment of money, etc. via the Internet, and evaluate the will ability.A system in which a doctor consults and issues a medical certificate when a risk is determined by a will ability screening test.
In recent years, people with cognitive impairment who are elderly are asked whether they have the ability to make a will at the stage of making a will, and in recent years it has been increasingly disputed whether the will is valid or invalid in trials.When the court decides whether it is valid or invalid, it is necessary to have materials that evaluate the will ability at the will writing stage, but there are cases where there are few opportunities to connect legal professions and medical professions, and cooperation is not successful. It stood out.
