I'm a friend of my roommate and he has a Sister that has a father-in-law that is an Alzheimer's Paitent. Her husband is the Executrix to the will and makes all the decisions for him. I know that they are taking advantage of him, a lot of his stuff is coming up missing and they are selling it. I see him and he wonders where all of his stuff is going. He has some pretty expensive stuff - Laptop, A very old Bycycle, old antiques, etc.. They have even took his car away from him and gave it to their daughter. My question is what are the steps, if we could, take to stop them from doing this? My roommate is afraid if he does anything about it then they will justify it by saying that the paitent said they can do it when I know that he wouldn't. They even want to put him in a home and take about 300,000 of his money when he dies instead of putting him in a more upscaled home until he passes. They justify that being because they have took care of him and that's what they deserve. They have only took care of him for the past 5 months and honestly they don't care about him at all. The family is hurting for money, they are about to lose their home and they are getting kind of desperate to get this money. What should we do, if there is anything that we can?

Executors can be named for a will and their duties don't come into play until the person is deceased. They have no authority to dispose of property while the person is alive unless they have Power of Attorney. You must find out if this person has Power of Attorney if not, then what they are committing is fraud, and this must be reported to the police, or to the person's lawyer.

The executor has no authority what so ever. A power of attorney can, but not if the person does not want it to happen, What should be is a guardian appointed to over see him,

This can be reported to a social service agency that deals with the elderly
