I am guessing that the home may be in both names. If so, then you both own the home, not just your husband. You have the right to have repairs made to preserve the condition and value of the home.

It appears that the bigger issue may be the physical and mental health of your husband. If he is unable to care for himself and make rational decisions, it may be time to consider a guardianship of your husband. If so, you should meet with an elder law attorney to discuss how this can be handled with the least distress for him.
