1,544,671,311 | https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/a5pktj/mentally_disabled_uncle_needs_my_help/ | a5pktj | Hi all,
I'm in California and I have a really, ridiculously unique situation that I need help with.
Background:
In April of 2016, my 42 year old Uncle had a massive stroke which caused him to have severe aphasia and extreme judgment and decision making problems. However, he was *just* normal enough to get out of his acute rehab right afterwards.
At this time he was married and had a pretty incredible support network. In September of 2016, his wife filed for divorce. So he moved in with elderly mom. She was in failing health, and in December of the same year, passed suddenly. The only people he had left were my mom (who lives in Arizona) and my aunt, his sister (who lives about 45 miles away, in the same town that he used to live in and that his ex wife and daughter live in).
My aunt is the executor of my grandmother's estate, and since my uncle was living there, she continued to let him live there. Here's the kicker, I live there too with my husband and son in a granny unit that my grandma had built for us before she passed. I have filled out his disability application (which he was approved for), took him to doctors appointments, made sure he was ok and generally supervised him.
Since this has happened, I have:
1. Called the police the day after my wedding because he was so drunk (the stroke makes alcohol 50X worse) he fell into some dishes and was bleeding everywhere. This led to him being put on a 72-hour psych hold, and then a 14 day psych hold because he mentioned not caring about life and wanting to die.
During this time, I cleaned out his room that was covered in urine, alcohol and practically deserving of a hazmat team.
2. Had to pick him up from a local hospital at 3am because he was found practically comatose in a bar bathroom. The doctors don't know how he survived.
3. Put out a fire that he accidentally started in the oven and he insisted that it would "put itself out".
4. Made him take down a sail shade that he had hung from the power line off of the house.
5. Picked him up from a camp (2 hours there and back, by the way) that our family has a long history of counseling at and going to because he made inappropriate comments about an underage female camper.
6. Notified the family of a puppy that he purchased (my protests made no difference) that died from eating something in his room. He didn't even have it a month.
7. Went looking for a new dog that was lost within 30 min of him bringing it home and promptly leaving it alone. This one was arranged by my aunt, despite knowing that he had just killed a puppy on accident due to being unable to care for it.
8. Took a .22 pump action rifle away from him (that no one knew he had) after he was shooting it in the backyard. I'm talking about shooting it randomly from the back deck, and yes, we have neighbors but live in a more rural area.
Basically, what I'm saying is that he is mentally incompetent of making good decisions. He has even had a neurological evaluation in which it was established that his decision making skills were no better than chance. Here's my problem, he has enough where-with-all to deny that anything is wrong or that he needs help. And he has enough mental capacity to refuse help. My mom lives too far away to do anything, and my aunt REFUSES to do anything. My aunt is also his medical power of attorney but not his guardian or conservator. I need help in finding resources on how to get someone declared mentally incompetent, and since he has no willing or able family members to be his guardian, he would need to become a ward of the state.
What is the process for having someone become a ward of the state?
Can I make my aunt do something about his care or get her in trouble for negligence? Remember, she is his medical power of attorney if that helps.
Any advice, resources, or anything is appreciated. Thank you. | Mentally disabled uncle needs my help | family | 6 | test | Mentally disabled uncle needs my help

Thank you. | Mi tío mentalmente discapacitado necesita mi ayudaHola a todos, estoy en California y tengo una situación realmente, ridículamente única con la que necesito ayuda.Background:En abril de 2016, mi tío de 42 años tuvo un derrame cerebral masivo que le causó tener una severa afasia y juicios extremos y problemas de toma de decisiones.Sin embargo, él era *justo* lo suficientemente normal para salir de su rehabilitación aguda justo después.En este momento él estaba casado y tenía una red de apoyo bastante increíble.En septiembre de 2016, su esposa pidió el divorcio.Así que se mudó con mamá anciana.Ella estaba en mal estado de salud, y en diciembre del mismo año, falleció repentinamente.La única gente que había dejado era mi madre (que vive en Arizona) y mi tía, su hermana (que vive a unos 45 millas, en la misma ciudad en la que vivía y en la que su ex esposa e hija viven).Mi tía es la ejecutora de la finca de mi abuela, y desde que mi tío vivía allí, ella siguió permitiéndole vivir allí.He llenado su solicitud de discapacidad (que fue aprobado), lo llevé a las citas de los médicos, se aseguró de que estaba bien y generalmente lo supervisé.Como esto ha sucedido, he: 1.Llamado a la policía el día después de mi boda porque estaba tan borracho (el derrame cerebral hace que el alcohol 50X empeore) se cayó en algunos platos y estaba sangrando por todas partes.Esto llevó a que se le puso en una bodega psicológica de 72 horas, y luego una bodega psicológica de 14 días porque mencionó no preocuparse por la vida y querer morir.Durante este tiempo, limpié su habitación que estaba cubierta de orina, alcohol y prácticamente merecedor de un equipo de materiales peligrosos.2.Tendría que recogerlo de un hospital local a las 3 de la mañana porque se le encontró prácticamente en coma en un baño de bar.Los médicos no saben cómo sobrevivió.3.Apagó un fuego que accidentalmente comenzó en el horno y insistió en que se "saldría".4.Lo hizo tomar una sombra de vela que había colgado de la línea de energía fuera de la casa.5.6. Notificaron a la familia de un cachorro que él compró (mi protesta no hizo ninguna diferencia) que murió de comer algo en su habitación.Ni siquiera lo tuvo un mes.7.Fui a buscar un nuevo perro que se perdió a los 30 minutos de él llevándolo a casa y rápidamente lo dejó solo.Esta fue arreglada por mi tía, a pesar de saber que él acababa de matar a un cachorro en accidente debido a no poder cuidarlo.8.Le quitó un rifle de acción de bomba.22 (que nadie sabía que tenía) después de que lo estaba disparando en el patio trasero.Estoy hablando de dispararlo al azar desde la cubierta trasera, y sí, tenemos vecinos pero vivimos en una zona más rural.Básicamente, lo que estoy diciendo es que es mentalmente incompetente para tomar buenas decisiones.Incluso ha tenido una evaluación neurológica en la que se estableció que su decisión de hacer habilidades no era mejor que la oportunidad.Este es mi problema, él tiene bastante con lo que negar que algo está mal o que necesita ayuda.Necesito ayuda para encontrar recursos sobre cómo conseguir que alguien sea declarado incompetente mentalmente, y puesto que no tiene familiares dispuestos o capaces de ser su tutor, él tendría que convertirse en un pupilo del estado.¿Cuál es el proceso para que alguien se convierta en pupilo del estado?¿Puedo hacer que mi tía haga algo sobre su cuidado o meterla en problemas por negligencia?Recuerda, ella es su poder legal médico si eso ayuda.Cualquier consejo, recursos, o cualquier cosa se aprecia.Gracias. |

It is a healthy snack box that is sent on a continuous schedule. Money is tight and she had her debit card expire so she simply didn't update her card information with the website to let it expire. Today we checked her account and her new card information was on the website. It appears graze company obtained her new card information and is charging her card. Is there any recourse for this?
Edit: we think graze went to her bank and got her card info. Am I missing something with how they could obtain her new card information?
Since we discovered this I got her to actually cancel her card with graze, but we were still charged again on a new card they shouldn't have had.

But basically me and my girlfriend of 6 years just broke up. She is going to be leaving our apartment that we both are signed onto for another year as of last month. She is adamant on getting her own apartment in the same complex and therefore apparently needs to be taken off of our lease. The office has no problem doing this however they tell me I will then need to re qualify for the lease otherwise I will be evicted. It is 3 times the monthly rent to qualify. I told them I have been out of a job for months because of Covid-19 and should be back to work supposedly in 2 or 3 months. (Cruise ships). I told them I have plenty of money in the bank to pay for at least 2 years worth of rent and can provide bank statements plus unemployment checks. They are telling me that won't cut it and if I do not have a job with pay stubs I cannot keep living there without a room mate which is out of the question. I would offer to pay them in advance for 6 months. That will cover until I get my job back. However before I even try to offer them that (which I feel they would decline anyways being real sticklers it seems) I wanted to know if there is any legal protections I have as a renter who is signed onto an existing lease for another 11 months. With the Covid-19 going on would there also be any protections that go along with that? This is all in Brevard County Florida. Thank you very much. | Apartment lease agreement in Florida.

​
i start to see changes in our son and notice he's trying to reason with me about why i don't like the guy etc. then one day i pick him up and he states it's not a big deal what the guy did cause it didn't hurt his daughters so if he does it to him it's ok cause it won't hurt. i ask him who told him that, he said his mom. i immediately enroll our son into a sex abuse prevention program (good touch, bad touch, good secrets, etc.
​
i've been building a case against her and this guy (pro se) so i'm ready when she tries to bring this guy around our son again. 2 weeks ago i hired a investigator to see if she brings our son around the guy, sure enough she does. i ask my son about it when i get back for visitation and he says he hasn't seen the guy. i'm worried about that if the guy does do something my son won't tell anyone cause his mom tells him to keep it a secret. at the next prevention program meeting the tell the lady that runs it and she states she is concerned.
​
fast forward to this week i get voicemail from DCF, i return the call and get told my son's mother called in saying i sexually abused my son. she wouldn't say how or anything else. just that i can't have any contact with my son . she said the cops would probably come pick me up (i assume arrest) and question me and that she can't talk to me until the cops do since there will be a criminal investigation as well.
​
i have no idea if my son is safe or if she caught this guy doing something to our son and she is covering for him. this is driving me nuts that they allowed our son to stay with her, i told the DCF lady about the boyfriend. why wouldn't they take a child into protective custody during something like this? supposedly my son is going to be going through a forensic investigation tomorrow. what is that? what will they be doing to my son? how traumatizing is this going to be for him? what is this going to be like for him?

this sucks cause i have no idea what i'm against. how do i prove there was no abuse? i mean this is going to be a he said she said type thing. i don't have much money for a lawyer, if i did come up with some and it's shown that she lied can i get my attorney fees back, what are the chances (i have yet to see anyone awarded any). will she get into any trouble for this? if i prove i didn't do anything and nothing happens to her she will do this again.

I recently stumbled on another thread about someone whose parents stole their inheritance, and ended up reading this [linked](https://www.thebalance.com/spending-childs-utma-money-illegal-358134) article about UTMA theft.
One thing it mentioned that I simply hadn't thought of is *record keeping*.
My wife and I have a 1 year old, and thusfar cash gifts have been very limited (< $1,000 total), we've kept no records, and dumped all the checks into our savings account and made a note of their total in a spreadsheet.
Looking back at the records I do have, it seems that every check we've received was actually made out to my wife and/or I...except one, which was made out to our son.
It doesn't say "X as custodian for Y" or anything, just has my sons name. The bank allowed us to deposit it into our savings account.
Is that last check covered by UTMA? Are all the checks covered by UTMA somehow? What do I need to do to do things correctly?
I'd like to correct any mistakes I may have made, and do things correctly going forward. Thoughts?
