Bloomington, IN asked in Elder Law for Ohio

Q: Father in Long term care, step mom not on title of trailer or car. Can he sell the trailer and car without her consent?

I'm his daughter and have DPOA. She has been in rehab centers for at least 18 of the last 24 months. She's not been in contact with my father for months. Can she assume ownership of trailer without her name on the title. She will not pay bills associated with the trailer/car. She has max over 20k in credit cards in my father's name as the authorized user.
