		Once legal documents are filled out, the individual with dementia, the caregiver or a trusted family member, the attorney and the doctor should all have copies.
		Once a court rules that a person is legally incompetent, a guardian or conservator is appointed for that person.

	Corporate person and Human Commodification
		In place of a definition of legal personality, jurisprudence moved toward an approach that is dominant as the twentieth century comes to an end: the analysis of "interests" with an eye to "costs" and "benefits." Dewey's "plea" resonated in jurisprudential circles and presaged the future.
		Legal theory in the United States today is dominated by an "economic analysis of law" premised on the theory that law "uncannily follows economics" (Barzelay and Smith 1987, 84) in pursuit of economic rationalization and efficient wealth maximization.
		Legal personality is the result of a "generative and creative act of meaning" (Goodrich 1986, 221) in a process of political-economic persuasion and seduction.

	Catholic Legal Theory
		Rooted in the dignity of the human person and respect for the common good, it is a reapplication of the Catholic intellectual tradition to a new context.
		Scaperlanda: Catholic legal theory is an ongoing project of Catholic law professors, legal philosophers and others to participate in drawing on the Catholic intellectual tradition to build a culture that values the dignity of the human person, sees the community as indispensable for human flourishing, and seeks authentic freedom for the person within the community.
		Since, as St. Paul says in Romans 2:15, every person has the law written on their heart, a Catholic legal theorist can rely on the use of natural law to reason together with non-Christians on how society's laws and legal systems ought to be structured for the good of the person.

	Legal Theory Lexicon: Legal Theory Lexicon 004: The Reasonable Person
		The reasonable person, so the story goes, analyzes the costs and benefits of her actions and does not act in such a way so as to impose costs that are not justified by their benefits.
		This approach to the reasonable person is roughly correlated with the deontological approach to moral philosophy, most famously associated with Immanuel Kant and his notion of a categorical imperative.
		The reasonable person, we might say, acts so that the maxim of her action (the principle upon which she acts) could be willed as a universal law--or to be put it differently, the reasonable person treats others as ends-in-themselves and not only as means.

		The legal capacity of the individual goes to issues such as whether the individual is of the age of majority in the jurisdiction where the power of attorney is being granted, or whether the individual is of unsound mind or otherwise incapacitated in some way.
		Therefore, a legal conclusion must be drawn as to whether the language of the provisions is broad enough to allow the individual or individuals in question to execute a power of attorney on behalf of the corporation for the purpose required.
		The legal requirements for authorizing a particular individual to act on behalf of a corporation in a common law jurisdiction can be as confusing and unfamiliar to a business person from a civil law jurisdiction, as the use of powers of attorney is to someone from a common law jurisdiction.

		Management of one's own legal and financial affairs is a basic right of all competent adults, and all 50 states and the District of Columbia have laws protecting individuals from the seizure of these rights by others.
		You can wait until the affected individual is legally incompetent, but if you do, finding the person's assets may be difficult or impossible, and assuming control over the person's legal affairs becomes much more problematic--and expensive.
		However, the person creating the durable power of attorney document must be competent at the time the durable power of attorney documents are signed, so they must be drafted fairly soon after the Alzheimer's diagnosis.

	SSRN-The Default Legal Person by Susanna Blumenthal
		This default legal person, I argue, was first articulated in the post-Revolutionary period by jurists drawing on new “enlightened” forms of Protestantism, and particularly on the Scottish Common Sense philosophy in which they were schooled, in order to delineate the mental prerequisites of legal responsibility.
		However, upon closer scrutiny, it is possible to detect certain patterns to these rulings, and to see judges working to refine their characterizations of the default legal person, in part by varying the standard of mental capacity from one field of private law to the next.
		Thus, I conclude that the default legal person may best be seen as a pragmatic means by which judges endeavored to monitor the borderlands of legal competency as they struggled to reconcile competing commitments to natural justice, market efficiency, and social welfare.

		Legal personality is a crucial aspect of freedom, as [i]t distinguishes one man from others and permits him to assert his essential dignity erga omnes.
		If the term ‘legal capacity’ was to be intended as a synonym of ‘capacity to be a person before the law’, the meaning of the second part of this sentence (“and the same opportunities to exercise that capacity”) would become unreasonable, since personhood is to be intended as a quality inherent to human beings.
		The existence of legal personality of itself says nothing as to the extent of rights and obligations of the persons in question, whether natural or legal, but simply goes to the ability in principle of the subject to be the object of legally-defined relationships.
