Hi OP - I just reread your post to see the state of health of your MIL.  First of all, use funds to get the appropriate person(s) to straighten out her financial affairs, get our DH full access as her POA and then to handle the routine payment of her bills, taxes etc.  Secondly, it sounds like there is a need for coordination of in-home care - or should be beyond just family - and support for the operation of her household.  A person called a geriatric care manager could do this.  Depending on the finances such a person might work with an agency to ensure staffing, get staffing to care for the house and figure out how to be sure MIL's groceries are purchased and food provided.  It would seem it might also be time to look at optioins for more direct care services such as assisted living or nursing/rehab places in your area for her as her health may deteriorate further.  On the lawyer financial end of it, consulting an elder care lawyer might be a resource to point DH in the right direction, too.[/quote]
