[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think people can pass dementia screens and be completely incompetent. Download the SAGE test from the University of Ohio and give it to anyone who you think is past competence but still aces a formal Alzheimer's screening. I doubt any would pass. [/quote] Judgement can absolutely fail before a person is formally incompetent. My parents are so goofy, but still legally competent. Think conspiracy theorists who treat themselves with home remedies and believe that putting a will or trust in place will allow the Biden to steal their money. They weren't like this 20 years ago, but have gotten weirder as time goes on. They will seem totally normal (and would pass dementia screeners) until you hit on one of their weird beliefs, and then their lack of ability to reason or use judgement shows. Good luck trying to give them any sort of competency test, by the way. That would be pretty darn hilarious.[/quote]
