Elder abuse question

Asked on Mar 05th, 2021 on Elder Law - Illinois
More details to this question:
Our younger sister (4 kids) has planned a trip for our 91 1/2 yr. old Dad to fly to AZ in a couple of weeks and we (oldest 3) don't know any details. She has not been transparent whatsoever. We do not approve of doing this. Our Dad has several chronic medical conditions and I do not think it's safe or in his best interest. I am an RN. Do we have any legal recourse if she persists? Secondly she took some furniture out of his house without his permission and has told to bring it back but has not done so. Anything we can do for this too?

You do not write whether your father has granted a Medical or Durable [Financial] Power of Attorney to you, your sister or anyone else, making it difficult to answer your question.  Ordinarily, your recourse would be to persuade your father not to go.
