Re: Objectively intelligent.
Legal hivemind, please help.
Suppose A, an older gentlemen. A is deteriorating, so H is appointed as his conservator, with ample powers.
A then goes online, and takes out a loan to buy cruise tickets. He pays off the loan.
H then approaches the lender and says, hey, A wasn't competent and I was appointed conservator. You shouldn't have been taking his money. Pay me back.
What does the lender say:
1) Get bent.
1a) How should we have known he wasn't competent?
1c) If he's not competent, why did you leave his money in an account he can access?
1d) You're giving us the cruise tickets, then?
or
2) Oh, sorry, here's the money.
