Not necessarily.

I work on a specialist dementia care unit and I have seen people go downhill in days. No it doesnt appear overnight but some people manage for a considerable ammount of time, something triggers intervention and they can go downhill extremely quickly after that.

If you can prove that your uncle was not of sound mind when these contracts were started there is a good chance of getting the debts wiped xx

LinasPilibaitisisbatman has added Medical matters to the list of things that he knows very little about. He has already proved to not know about legal matters and motoring matters.

Strange. I had assumed that under all circumstances the tax man always had first go at getting paid.
