[quote=Anonymous]We struggles for years with age-related mental health issues with my in laws. If feel like dementia is easier in some ways--there's a formula for getting things sorted legally. For my FIL, he was still mentally competent under the law but making terrible, terrible decisions. Every time one of his kids pushed him to do something, he would go to his lawyer and revise his will. It was changed literally hundreds of times and in stupid ways. He was terrified that his kids were going to take his money. But he had no problem paying tens of thousands of dollars to his lawyer and random scammers. He also took charge of my MIL's medical care and made terrible decisions for her health. At one point he read something about eating fewer calories making you live longer. He started calorie restricting her AS A CANCER PATIENT. So much crazy, but not dementia. No legal means for us to gain control.of the situation. So so so hard.[/quote]
