More details to this question:
Married 57 yrs.; I am 75 taking care of my 76 year old husband who started dementia 2 years ago. He is receiving income from his family property which he is still able to sign and I deposit. I was informed that I have to be his legal guardian or they have a right to stop his monthly checks. Also, I will not receive his checks upon his demise, whereas, other in-laws have. It would be difficult to live in todays economy without it. Please advise.

You should speak with an elder law attorney in HI immediately. Even with demential, a person MAY be competent to sign a POA. This is a delicate situation and you need to act now.
