OMG — you need to act quickly so he can sign some papers. You need an elder-law specialist, an estate planning attorney.
If you’re in Chicago (as many of my listeners are) I recommend the Law offices of Kerry Peck: Kerry R. Peck, Estate Planning Lawyer Chicago, Probate Litigation Attorney | Peck Ritchey, LLC
And elsewhere in the country, (you need to do this with an attorney in your state of residence) use this to find an estate planning attorney: Find A Lawyer – Lawyer Near Me | Search Attorneys (search-attorneys.com) this is the website of the American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys.
Please do not delay in getting professional help before he is completely incapacitated — making it impossible for you to deal with important issues without getting a court order!
