Re: probate/mental health
This is very difficult. Have your parents made provisions for him, for example, a special needs trust. Your mother might still be able to do this if she wants to set aside money for him. Another option, and this is not great, is to wait for him to present himself at a hospital or doctor's office. At that time, see if you can get an expert evaluation to use to establish guardianship.
