Frequently Asked Questions
Can a re-assessment reverse a prior finding of incapacity?
Yes, if the individual has recovered or improved. Alberta law allows reassessments to reflect regained capacity.
Who can request a capacity re-assessment?
Clients, family members, legal representatives, physicians, or care staff can request a re-assessment with consent or appropriate authority.
Do I need to go to court again if the assessment changes?
Possibly. If a court order or guardianship/trusteeship is in place, changes may need to be reported legally. We’ll guide you through the process.
