The patient doesn't necessarily have to remember what is in the will two weeks from now or even tomorrow, as long as it is certain that he understands at the time of signing, exactly what it is he is signing. The best way to protect yourself is to have an attorney draw up the will and have him interview the patient at the signing so that the attorney feels certain that the patient understands what is going on. Has he been tested? There are several levels of Alzheimer's. At the first levels, the patient is a lot clearer and there should not be any "contest" to the will. If he is late stages, you may expect some objection if the will doesn't please everyone. The test might substantiate the patients ability to understand the will he is signing.
Added: Be advised that if there were anycontroversy at all about the wills provisions, a will written by a diagnosed Alzheimer's patient would almost certainly be subject to challenge.
