Re: Determine Comptence
You take the Metro to DC Superior Court (Judiciary Square stop)and have him declared incompetent. Call first for details..you don't need a lawyer, I believe...but will soon need a Dr. to state that he's incompetent....the wife can be the Guardian of the husband..if she's up to it....Take care.....
