Re: If my father is having memory problems
You can, and it sounds like you better take action in case she is trying to get him to sign over his property or give her access to his financial assets. If he were still mentally competent you could try and get him to give you a power of attorney, but it sounds like he may be past that. You should try and talk to his doctor about that. Otherwise you'll have to file a court petition for guardianship of his person and property in the circuit court of the county where he lives. You'll need current statements from 2 doctors that he's not competent to support your petition.
