My Mother-in-law(83)is being tested for dimentia- she was being cared for by her daughter and son in law, she accused them of abusing/stealing from her to the city/county. The authorities placed her in a hospital/observation environment for 3 wks, which ends this week. The County wants someone in the family to be her conservator, but she has turned her back on all family members, and none of us want the responsiblity, costs. If the County becomes the conservator, what happens to her estate when she passes, I don't think she has a will on file. Can the County take all her assets without asking us first/ do you recommend anyone in the family take on this responsiblity to protect her assets from the County authorities? I doubt she would be cooperative with anyone in the family at this point in time. There should be someway to protect her from herself and her irrationality. None of us has the funds/money to pay for a conservatorship at this time - and if we found a way, are the funds repaid to us? Thanks for your response.
