The growing aging population raises important implications for legal and clinical systems, including testamentary capacity (TC) assessment. Yet, there are limited comprehensive and standardized assessment measures for TC readily available for clinical use. A review of current assessment methods and standardized approaches for TC assessment is provided. Although several guidelines regarding TC assessment have been proposed in prior literature, existing standardized approaches do not appear to meet full criteria for TC. A comprehensive approach to assessment of testamentary capacity is proposed.
人口老龄化加剧对法律和临床系统产生了重要影响，包括遗嘱能力（TC）评估。然而，目前临床上可用于TC评估的全面且标准化的评估措施有限。本文对当前TC评估的方法和标准化途径进行了综述。尽管先前文献中已提出了一些关于TC评估的指南，但现有的标准化方法似乎并未完全满足TC的标准。本文提出了一种全面的遗嘱能力评估方法。
