What you describe is a complicated situation. I do not know if he is represented by an attorney, but I think you should be as guardian for your sister.
You raise issues, but have not asked any questions. I suspect that you have many questions about how to handle this situation.
You can contact me at my office for a complimentary consultation if you have any further questions, or need assistance, at 978.749.3606.
