Is "sound mind" a binary thing? Isn't it more the case that we're all somewhere between 0 and 1 ?

- WalterBright 3y agoThese sound like cases of obvious impairment. As my elder relatives sank into dementia, it gets pretty obvious if you spend a few minutes talking with them. One banker questioned the validity of my power of attorney when taking over my dad's accounts. (I was glad he questioned it.) I said the nursing home was about 1/4 mile away, and he was welcome to go and verify for himself his mental competence. Frankly, I had waited far too long to do this. In denial, I suppose.
