Protect mother''s assets from Stepfather''s Family. He was just put into Ass Living and burning his money. Then they will be after hers.

My elderly mother (90) recently had to put my elder stepfather with Alzheimer''s into Assisted Living. My step-siblings (never interested before) came out of the wood work because they feared all his money would be burnt through in the AL facility. They insisted on controlling his seperate checking account and get Power of Attorney for him. The only problem is that they are untrustworthy and may blow his money. We fear, with nothing left, my mother may have the financial liablity for him. Is there a way to release her financial liabilty? Seperation? Divorce? Anything else?
