[WSBAPT] Competency to Execute Will

[Mark Anderson]

Dear All:

Surviving spouse has wanted to change her Will since her husband's death but has not gotten around to it because she is still grieving the loss.  She was just recently diagnosed as having Alzheimer's dementia, affecting her cognition and memory.

Is a diagnosis of Alzheimer's dementia, without more, conclusive evidence that she is incompetent to change her Will?  Can anything be done to prove (and document) otherwise?

Thanks in advance.
