My wife is all screwy now that her brother is finding it difficult to manage their father. He keeps saying he don't know what to do or how to do it. I told her to stay out of it like her sister does. I've advised him to contact a lawyer but he won't do it. He has power of attorney and he's put all of his dad's property in his name. I told him about medicade, the 5 year possession clause, and medicade recovery. That shook him up that he may loose the property he got his dad to sign over to him... selfesh is all I can say.
I looked after my family for a long time, stopped 30 years ago this coming May. About 15 years ago my youngest brother took up the gauntlet. We have a drug fucked brother who my mother has left everything to, she he is sitting in the family home, my mother and sister in a nursing home. The youngest brother does all of druggles shopping, banking, drives him to appointments and such, despite being married with 3 kids of his own. I keep getting the urge to ring druggles and convince him he can fly.
Fortunately, my dad, then a widower, shoved everything he owned at me so the children of the woman he was going to marry wouldn't get anything, and neither would the government. Your wife's family needs a lawyer right effing now; if they are in Florida, I can make a recommendation.
