If your father has not appointed someone his agent under a Medical Power of Attorney and under a Durable Power of Attorney, the health care providers may turn to all available adult children (assuming the spouse has passed) on health care questions but no one has authority over your father's money and property. You or your brother may need to apply for a guardianship. Contact your local probate court or your state bar for a list of attorneys who represent people in guardianship applications.
