What options do we have regarding my brother's care and power of attorney?
My sister in law has cancer and wont be around much longer, she has 2 kids from a previous marriage and is married to my brother who had a major brain injury 4 years ago and is disabled. We suspect she has signed over power of attorney for my brother to her son (brothers step son) We suspect she had him sign a document which allowed this but no one in our family was made aware. We have been told there is a $100,000 dollar life insurance policy which would go to my brothers step son, and he would manage my brothers finances. Our fear is we wont have any say in my brothers care and my brother isn't able to take care of himself. What options do we have? Also we live in MN and they are thinking about moving to IA which where the step son lives.
