You walk in, she stands up, extends her hand. Points to a chair for the client. She sits down opposite you, opens the folder with the report. For a few seconds, she silently looks at the first page.

I signed your report on Friday. We’ll discuss the details now, and I’ll answer your questions by the end.

She turns the report towards you, opens it to the resolution part.

Conclusion: at the time of signing the will — on March twenty-third — your father’s degree of cognitive impairment corresponded to moderate dementia, F02.0. This means he understood the nature of the action but might not have fully grasped its consequences.

Pause, she looks at you.

What this means for your case practically — I won’t explain, that’s a question for your lawyer. I am only responsible for the medical part.

She closes the report, folds her hands on the table.

You surely have questions. I’m ready to answer as many as needed. This is part of my obligations to the client. And it’s no more and no less than my obligations — I want to make that clear right away.
