Practice question
An adult is physically unable to walk but is affirmatively competent and subject to no guardianship or other special rule. Plaintiff argues that wheelchair use alone makes the adult an incompetent under Section10 and serves only a caregiver. No other valid service exists. Which is correct?
- Physical mobility limits alone do not establish the stipulated legal incompetency or authorize caregiver-only service
- Every wheelchair user is legally incompetent
- A paid caregiver automatically becomes legal guardian
- A disability automatically waives summons
- Only the caregiver may contest the debt
