Do all hospitals have different procedures to file for guardianship, or is this a state wide kind of rule.
I am seeing another legal situation unfold and was wondering how that works.
Do nurses declare someone mentally incompetent? Do social workers? Can they, meaning nurses and social workers charge that someone is mentally making unwise choices and then get guardianship without a second opinion?
Do they have to have second opinions, like psychiatrist to deem someone mentally incompetent to make their own decisions?
What are the ranks you must go through in order for a hospital to file for a guardianship of somebody?
What are the legalities of filing for a guardianship within a hospital?
What, and when is it considered false imprisonment and what and when is it considered assault and battery?
I am so tired, but do any of these questions make sense. I will tell the story if need be, I just thought that might bore everybody.
