Unless and until someone has the legal right to advocate for the man, the family can do nothing. If he has previously signed a power of attorney for property, she could be evicted. Otherwise until a court appoints a guardian of the estate for the man, there is nothing anuyone can legally do. Note that if they lived for a time in a state that recognizes common law marriage (not Illinois) they could be legally married. IF not they are not married.
