Competence Evaluation

Competence evaluation is the process of assessing an individual's ability to understand and make informed decisions about their own healthcare or legal matters. It involves a careful review of their mental capacity, reasoning skills, and awareness of the consequences of their choices. This assessment ensures that individuals can participate meaningfully in decisions affecting their well-being, while also protecting those who may lack the necessary understanding due to cognitive or mental health issues. Essentially, it determines whether someone has the appropriate mental faculties to make sound decisions independently.
