Can you have a relative declared legally incompetent to care for himself and put him in a home of some kind?

Unfortunately, ever since Govenor then President Reagon opened up the care institutions and put the patients on the street (homeless), America seems to be willing to let the crazies walk around until they kill someone or die themselves.  If your family has money and can pay for it, they can go through the process of having him institutionalized.

Depends on the nature of the work involved.Your Brother should seek legal advice as soon as possible. Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) can offer all the advice,free of charge.I wish him luck.

It depends.  Do you have a Specific Power of Attorney (valid only for the sale of the house) or a General Power of Attorney  (which allows you to act as if you are him)?\n\nIf you have a General Power of Attorney, you are free to dispose of his assets.  If you do no, you cannot.\n\nAre you his legal guardian?  If so depending on the guardianship rules in your state, you MAY be able to dispose of his assets.\n\nYour best bet would be to see an attorney in your area, with a specialty in family law.  Please turn off your Caps Lock.\n\nGood luck.

Very difficult, you have to prove severe incompetence in your representation.  The law will give the benefit of the doubt to the lawyer.

Assisted living can be a blessing for all concerned when you can no longer keep an elderly family member safe while protecting your own health at the same time.  But think about doing this in stages... minimal assistance, increasing only as he really needs it.  You can start with a home health aid that comes in for a few hours a day to help him with personal and home care, then eventually go to an assisted living facility, then to full nursing care only when necessary.  \n\nNo guilt.  You are no help to anyone unless you first take proper care of yourself so you can stay on your feet.  My ex father-in-law was also severely mentally and physically incapacitated by diabetes at the young age of 63, because he was a lifelong, chronic alcoholic who refused to lift a finger to take responsibility for his own health or home. If your father-in-law is the same kind of situation, then no, you are not obligated to sacrifice your life to care for someone that selfish.  When people decide to throw their lives into the toilet, only fools and codependents let themselves be dragged along.

You Could Probably Try your Dept Of Social Services..Maybe Help a Foster Child or a Family Thats Down and Out.

It's up to the Aunt what she wants to do. Child Services can be contacted and the kids could be put into foster homes. Running the risk of all being seperated. But unless she's the appointed caregiver for these kids, she's not obligated to take care of them. It's all a matter of how she feels. If it were one of my sisters, I wouldn't hesitate to help her children. But I also know that she wouldn't expect me to do it.

Sure the hell is .do you have a court order? let his P.O know if he is not living up to it get help from family services ,he should be getting"hits"which should sent his ass to jail or prison which is where he belongs if he wouldn't take care of his kids.

Not if his Mother can help it. She thinks he's a dummy.\n\nShe' right.

You don't have to reside with him for him to be your legal guardian. \n\nIf he isn't your legal guardian in fact, then he has no right to keep any of your personal possessions without your expressed permission and is legally obligated to relinquish them to you.

A person suffering from schizophrenia cannot sue another legally.  He must be represented by a representative, parent or guardian.

NO.  you must have your Family Care plan in place at all times.  if you do not, you will seperated and lose out on all of your benefits for failing to maintain readiness.  \n\nit's an insult to every other parent out there, single or otherwise who manage to do their duty without shirking their responsibilities to country and kin.

If the case went to trial and the judgement was for the family and against the person, he could still be liable.  Some states do have a statute of limitations on the right to enforce a judgment, which means that after a specific length of time has passed, the family would not be able to collect a judgment against the person. I'm not sure of what the law is in Louisiana regarding this, so your best bet is to speak with an attorney licensed to practice there. The local bar associations in Louisiana offer referral services to attorneys.

could be depending on the situation, how long the child has been in the family...and how good of a lawyer you have

As long as a family can take care of their family member the better.  Nursing homes are a horible fate that no one should have had to face if can be avoided

Are you wondering how to get in contact with someone who needs their house looked after?  If so, I would contact the base housing office.  They should be able to answer your questions.  If you are wondering about any liabilities that would be placed on you if something happened to the house while the owner is away you should contact the base legal office.  They will be able to help you draft a "contract" of sorts between you and the owner that will state what you can and cannot be held accountable for in their absence.

I would say the health department could handle that for you. Also, I would call the BBB and make sure they know how bad a landlord he is.
