    • These house calls concerned testamentary capacity and potential abrogation of parental rights.

    Findings:

    • House calls facilitated a more thorough assessment of an individual's capacity than standard office evaluations.
    • Psychiatrists gained a better appraisal of the individual's functional capacity through home visits.

    • Promoting forensic psychiatric house calls could enhance evaluations of legal capacity.
    • This methodology may lead to improved outcomes for individuals and the legal system.
