Q: My father has dementia for yrs there is no power attorney over him my brother had him sell he's house for a dollar in
October 2015 and put he's name on all the accounts is there any thing I can do
A: I would suggest that you petition the probate court in your county to have you appointed guardian of the estate and person of your father who apparently will be found a disabled person because of his dementia. That way the court will supervise what is best for the ward (your dad) and therefore, oversee diligently your dad's assets and his health care. You should look to hire an attorney experienced in guardianship law to handle this for you.
