Declaring Mother Mentally Incompetent (Wills & Trusts)

Sun, 05 Oct 2008 17:22:00 GMT

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
TN
My mother currently resides in New York, however her husband is wanting to send her back home to me because she has a major prescription medication addiction. The major cause of this is due to her mental state. She is 63years old with a state of mind of a adolescence. If she is brought back to me I cannot physically or emotionally care for her as I have two small children and a husband that I could not and would not put through this kind of emotional stress. How is it that I could get her into a mental facility where she could get first the mental help and then to deal with the dependence issues that are there?
Thank you
