Both are of sound of mind. However, he refuses to pay her hospital bills or medical care. Additionally, he won’t take her to therapy. She needs to be living in a supportive senior housing but has access only to $1000/month from her SS and pension. All other assets are in their Trust and my father refuses to sign for any withdrawl or disbursements for her care.
