and conservator - it’s the only way to be certain he is protected from all potential abuses. Court will confirm his disability and grant this if evaluations and you are deemed ‘best and capable’ for these roles. In process of doing this with dementia/ Alzheimer’s dad now - he has a younger wife who overreached and continues multiple abuses on him- she has caused us to take this action now n process. Get lawyer and file petition for these roles ASAP- even request emergency appointment in these roles so immediately things are ‘frozen’ until the permanent ruling can be made by the court.
Let me recap so I'm on the right page here. Please correct me if I'm mistaken.
Your dad is old and he is sick.
He's dating one of his former caregivers.
This is correct? He's in a romantic relationship with her. The former caregiver is not in one with him. She's working a hustle to get her hands on his money and property. Most definitely if she's allowed to be alone with him she will not only get access to everything he has, but she will convince him to turn on you and the rest of the family who would try to stop her. She would definitely marry him too.
I had a similar situation with my own father. He was in his late 80's (perfect health, still independent) and met a 60 year old woman. An indigent petty criminal and addict. They fell "in love". She took him for plenty of money but there was nothing anyone could do. Then he had a stroke. I had his POA and it became active then. Of course all of her funding was cut off at once but she still continued to hustle. Refusing to leave the home he owned, etc... Guilting me because he was in a nursing home.
So I made her an offer. That if she was still so "in love" with my father and wanted to be his 24 hour caregiver. I told her I would get the necessary renovations made to the home and she could remain living in the house if she met one condition.
That one condition was I stay legally in charge of the money and the decisions. She could continue living rent and expense free like she did with my father, and could be his caregiver as well.
This idea did not go over well with her. It won't go over with your father's girlfriend either. Don't allow her to visit without supervision.
The document I received was a brief statement that my LO could no longer take care of herself, and that I as POA should be given help with any matters concerning her care.
I have used it in several situations, and in fact has always worked, along with her POA, to facilitate gaining access to necessary services on my LO’S behalf, including establishing status as a “designated payee” for her Social Security account.
You need to do everything you can to protect him and his assets, including having him declared incompetent. He doesn't need to know that, but you should consult an elder care attorney immediately.
