Get POA started. Put his assets into a trust to protect him.

Like I mentioned earlier in the thread, it is probably already too late to do a POA if someone has already suffered the type of mental decline that the OP described. The same would be true with that person executing a trust. If that person doesn’t understand what they are doing, then that opens the door to challenges as to the validity of those documents.

OP, I’m not telling you that there isn’t an attorney out there who wouldn’t do it, but as an attorney I personally would not feel comfortable doing a POA, trust, will, etc. under these circumstances. If you feel that someone needs to take control of his affairs, then you may want to speak with an attorney about a guardianship where your wife or one of her family members could be made his legal guardian.
