Best Answer

In most jurisdictions all that is necessary is for a police officer or mental health professional to have probable cause to believe that the person is a danger to him/herself or others. Psychotic episodes and/or severe drunkenness, along with suicidal statements or attempts, are the most commonly considered criteria.

Louisiana your husband had a stroke and his kids are trying to get power of attorney?

If the husband has become mentally incompetent as a result of the stroke, he would not be considered mentally competent to grant a power of attorney to anyone. A power of attorney that is granted during the time of one's incompetency would generally not be considered valid.
