It is obvious from your question that your wife's father has some serious assest that are at risk unnecessarily because no one is helping her family plan that has any understanding of what can be done and how to do it. You need to hire an estate planning lawyer to get the lay of the land and take steps to preserve assets.

We can't give any meaningful help in this forum since everything is very specific to your situation.
