An Oklahoma attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It's difficult to predict what they would do. Don't take it upon yourself to pay what you feel you can. That could lead to a default or other complications. Instead, consider one of these options. You... View More

A dementia diagnosis alone is not determinative. The dementia could be mild or it could be moderate or severe. If mild, probably the individual has the legal capacity to revoke a POA and grant a new one to someone else. If severe, probably not.

The statute of limitation to collect on a judgment is much longer than 5 years. The 5 year SOL applies to bringing the lawsuit. You have no statute of limitation defense.

Another is whether you had a valid contract with the purchaser. Third, is whether an actual sale of the vehicle... View More
