But is it a legal warning?

I’m not an attorney but my guess is that he has a legal and moral obligation to step in when/if he suspects “abuse” or neglect. No different than protecting a child if they suspected abuse/neglect from a parent.

By no means am I insinuating that y’all are abusing/neglecting your FIL, but you should take the Dr’s warning as a sign that it’s time to get your FIL affairs in order. It’s to protect him and the family from the vultures that will try to take advantage of him.

I have had the misfortune of watching my MIL suffer from this disease for the past decade and it’s terrible. It really takes a toll on the whole family. Unfortunately, your FIL’s mental state probably will never be better than it was today.

If you’re not already, I highly recommend becoming a good listener when you’re wife grieves about the mental decline of her father because she will essentially lose her father while he’s still living and there isn’t anything you can do to “fix” it.
