Should a Dr recommend a transfer of care away from another specialist?

My mother has been diagnosed with what two separate neurologists have independently concluded is probably Alzheimer's. My father took my mother to another doctor for a third opinion. The doctor had my father sign a "transfer of care" away from the neurologist she is currently seeing to her( the new doctor). Is this normal?

There are all sorts of red flags here: the other big one is she's not a neurologist, but diagnosed my mother with frontal lobe dementia by looking at her brain scans.

But I need to figure out if asking the patient to fill out a transfer of care is common practice for specialists, because I don't understand why you ask someone to do this.
