Can anyone help. My sister has dementia but was at home. However her husband died so she is now in a care home. As far as I am aware there was no poa and no will. As her closest relative am I able to make decisions about selling her house to pay for her care and choosing her care home. Her husband has surviving siblings who have access to her home can I take control?
Advice please

Welcome to Talking Point @LoopyT.Can I offer condolences on the death of your brother in law. Sorry your sister's dementia means she now has to be in a care home.

Thank you for your prompt reply and words of comfort. I am more than happy to apply for deputyship as I want my sister to stay where she is. They are taking good care of her. I plan to speak with my solicitor as I am very concerned that her in laws may try to move her. Thank you
