§ 1004 Mental Health Commitment Privilege

• •You can't hide information in court if someone is trying to say you're too sick (mentally or physically) to take care of yourself or your stuff.
• •If a judge is deciding whether to put you or your things under someone else's control, you have to share all the facts—no secrets allowed.
• •This rule is about making sure the judge has all the info to make a fair decision.

Your family thinks you can't handle your money anymore because you're forgetful, and they ask a judge to let them control your bank account.

You can't refuse to answer questions or hide medical records in court. The judge needs all the info to decide if you really need help or not.
