Re: citation served on alzhiemers patient
Service is good, even if your father has Alzheimer's. If it's not too late to make answer, at least write a letter to the court stating that the allegations in the petition are denied. Send a copy to the creditor's attorney as well.
Depending upon the amount in question, you may want to hire an attorney to handle your father's defense. If judgment has been taken, and it's not too late, the attorney may be able to have the judgment set aside.
