Where to find a form for her doctor to fill out regarding her mental capacity?

My mother is 92 years old and still in pretty good health. She is able to pay her bills, balance her checkbook, etc. I would like to find a form for her doctor to fill out regarding her mental capacity. Does anyone know where I can find this without having to hire a lawyer?

Family physicians are not allowed to diagnose mental capacity. This has to be done by a Neurologist or Psychiatrist who will run a few tests.
