[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]it's at point where cleaning up after my Dad's destruction will be almost a full time job in itself.[/quote]

I can tell you from experience you really want to stay on top of his finances on a week-to-week basis. You don't want to assume everything's ok and then find out a year or two later that he has squandered all his money and is bankrupt and homeless.[/quote]

Thanks, yes I agree.   The problem was prior to a couple weeks ago, my dad would not agree to my brother having access to all the finances.  My dad still has his moments where he seems fully lucid and competent...and then other moments where he makes reckless impulsive decisions that costs thousands, sometimes tens of thousands.   Like this new apartment;  he's less than one month in to a 12 month lease.   It's about $3500/month for a two bedroom (southern CA.)  From what I've read on CA tenant law, if my brother is able to get my parents into a nursing home, my Dad is still on the hook for rent the remainder of the lease (so almost $40,000) unless the property management is able to rent it to someone else (no idea if that's likely/how "in demand" that complex is.)  He didn't even tell my brother he was considering this move or ask his advice first.  Yet now he'll expect my brother to bear so much responsibility for it with the longer drives, going to the bank to get cashiers checks, etc.[/quote]
