Who can legally order sterilization of a minor?

In the absence of a valid medical opinion as to why that minor MUST be sterilized, and only then if there is evidence of extreme mental retardation AND rampant uncontrollable sexual misconduct such as rape by a male minor retarded person. In the case of a minor constantly acting out in rampantly sexual ways, but absent mental retardation, no one can do that. And in the case of a mentally retarded person, there must also be an order from a court of competent jurisdiction.

Should you have your 91 year old Alzheimer Fathers house put in your name now or wait until he passes and let his will which leaves the house to you take the necessary steps?

The first question is whether he is mentally competent to transfer property now and whether he was mentally competent when he wrote the will. If he isn't legally competent to transfer the property now, it will be very expensive to create a conservatorship so that someone (the conservator) can transfer the property for him. Probably easiest to just rely on the will, assuming it is valid.


Can someone with a diagnosis of a mental illness get a concealed weapon license for a handgun in Kansas?

I hope not. It depends.

In that case, the person cannot get a gun permit because they cannot legally own a gun.
