My 80-year-old father is paralyzed and needs constant care. He lives with me, and I’ve been providing all his needs, including medical attention, for the past year and a half. I’m moving overseas permanently with my family, but my only brother, who lives in our family home, refuses to take care of him. I’m worried about my father’s safety, as he has odd behavior and my brother might not treat him well, especially since there’s a small house involved. I don’t have a good relationship with my brother, and my father, at his age, wouldn’t want me to complain. What should I do to ensure his well-being?

You can approach the court for an order appointing a guardian for your father. This would ensure someone is legally responsible for his well-being. Consider consulting a lawyer to explore options for appointing a guardian and ensuring your father’s care in your brother’s absence.
