Question

Elder person wasting money on a business

19-Jul-2026 (In Family Law)

Elderly retired person (80+ years old) is pumping money into a business he started with no hope of success, against the wishes of his wife and other family members. Can legal notices be sent to him to stop him from doing this and to business from accepting any more funds from him? What would be the timeline to get an injunction from a court, and a freeze on his financial accounts to enforce this? No calls from lawyers, please, but you can send an email.
