Father in-law

Wayne, we will keep you and your wife in our prayers. And the advice you received above is good advice. Please sit and talk with a neutral party and see if you can come up with some good solutions.

Wayne, sorry for your loss. With regards to your mother in law's situation I would recommend that you quietly seek the help of an attorney as soon as possible. My wife has been a long term care nurse for 23 years and she has seen this scenario play out many times. It can get really crazy and sad very quickly.

We live in an environment very similar to yours (town of 10 - 15,000, county seat, not quite as close to a major population center) there is a concentration of lawyers because of the county seat, and everybody seems to know everybody (small town) environment. You should be able to find a "reputable/reasonable" lawyer that can help you proceed with the legal power of attorney process and help you dealing with the Social Services bureaucrats that will most likely become involved.

Generally, if your Mother-in -law has been diagnosed with dementia she probably cannot legally consent to power of attorney so it gets more complicated. We wish you the best of luck in this and will keep you in our prayers.

Disclaimer: I am not an attorney. I do not have any legal training. I am merely relating what I have experienced and am expressing my personal opinion in this matter.

Mother in law called this morning and wanted to come stay with us till we get him out of there. So we had the police meet us there so there was no trouble. Then went and got power of attorney over everything social worker will be here tomorrow and we will go from there .

Thank you all for the prayers it means a lot to me and for the advice
