[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He will probably end up on Disability, which will give him money to pay bills.  [/quote]

Disability is not going to come looking for him to get him enrolled, this man is going to have to get a little involved in his own needs[/quote]

Also, disability pays squat so of parents don't have much assets it's going to be rough road for living.

Get money into trust now or have them buy him a cheap ass house in Detroit or Florida where houses go for $70k.  Then he will have no assets but a place to live so qualify for ssi. If he ends up with non-trust cash then it will prevent ssi until he fritters it away and ends up in section 8. If you do have a trust, who is executor? You? You want to control and direct you business-man wanna be brother how he spends his money? That will be interesting role.

[b]And know what, being a risk to yourself doesn't get you much but 7 day hold at county psych ward. My sibling has several attempts but once they say 'I'm ok' out they go. [/quote][/b]

Isn't that the truth.  My sibling has been hospitalized many times involuntarily - and is smart enough to know that if he does not give permission for the hospital to speak to anyone (including family) then no one knows the real story of how messed up he is.  I have called, written letters - no release, no communication.  Most broken system I know and there is no way to get people like him the help they need.  3-7 day maximum and back to square one.[/quote]
