Re: children rights
The children do have a right, if they feel their father is being taken advantage of by someone. Additional information as to what they want to do would allow me to better answer the question.
But they as children do have what we call standing, meaning the ability to go into court if necessary on behalf of their father, if he is unable to make his own decisions and the granddaughter is spending all of his money.
If you have any additional questions, please feel to give me a call. I do give free intial consultations to determine what if anything can be done. 412.731.0865.
