Apologies on the broad scope of my question. My brother became severely mentally ill over last couple of years. He did not do the necessary financial things that are must, so he has lost a lot due to his mental illness. I gained his guardianship recently and trying to assist him as I uncover issues he needs help, but each issue I encounter statute of limitations.
1) He was terminated from his work, he started some complaint process on that but then he became comatose. I contacted agencies, but they said statute of limitations has expired (he is short 7-8 months), as it is 300 days (from state) and 180 days (from federal EEOC) or something like that. I think he is short 7-8 months.
2) For taxes, statute of limitations is 3 years. He did not file taxes since illness. He should have had some refunds 2015/16, but since did not claim/file, so now he is out of statute.
My question is, is there some "exception process" in law for severely disabled people who do not have the benefit of being able to think and take care of themselves, from these statute of limitations? (or maybe specifically for the 2 issues above)
