We have talk to her about moving to asst. living, letting us pay her bills and she says absolutely not. What rights does my husband have to do any of this?
I knew a man who was wealthy. He gave his money away and gambled a lot. What the family had to do was to have the court set up a conservatorship. The conservator paid all the man's bills and gave him a monthly allowance. The court appointed an attorney to be conservator, but family can also do it. If your MIL is giving away a lot of money, it may be the way to go. Filing for and setting up the conservatorship is expensive, so it may not be worthwhile in your situation. Good luck!
