<p><font color="#000000"><font size="2"><font face="arial,sans-serif"> DCF does investigations and if the person needs assistance- DCF can go to the Court to obtain authority to step in for an interim period while the Court proceeds to have a hearing on incapacity -- the person -alleged incapacitated person ("AIP")- is appointed a lawyer and a 3 person examining committee is appointed to examine the person, etc. The standard is whether the person is able to care for themselves, is neglecting themselves, is possibly vulnerable to financial exploitation, etc.</font></font></font></p>
<p> I think the manager should so Something- even calling the police to get some action started. This could happen to anyone- after a stroke perhaps - or the onset of dementia-- We may be seeing many more cases like this- with the 60s generation aging---- so putting yourself in the persons shoes - well maybe no shoes here in the example----- wouldn't you want someone to do something? rather than turning a blind eye?</p>
<p> Anyway although I Really do dislike getting DCF or an entity involved-- it is the easiest way to get the ball rolling. </p>
<p> Now-- as a matter of self interest-- the manager does Not want this person to be injured on the property after it is common knowledge that he/she knew about the situation.....</p>
<p> That's my 42 cents on this and if you want to discuss in greater detail- give me a call.</p>
<p> My main areas of practice are Probate & Guardianship- administrations and litigation.</p>
<p>Have a good day- and keep your clothes on...just saying...</p>
