Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Illinois

My half brother got power of attorney for my father. My mother died two years ago and my father died this week. My father had alzheimer. I recently found out my half brother who I just met two years ago at my mothers funeral has done a reverse mortage on the home my parents bought. He has taken $150,000 out of the house that was only worth $180.00. My half brother has not worked in several years and his now driving a $40,000 car and his wife relatives are now living in the home I grew up in. What do I do, PLEASE HELP.

You should hire counsel immediately to determine if there was a breach of fiduciary duty. Good luck.
