Re: I have a question?

Your first question makes no sense to me. Add your father's name to what?

As to your brother, you need to petition the probate court to get guardianship of your brother. You cannot or should get a power of attorney from a person unless that person has the mental capacity and maturity to understand what the person is signing.

The court and the state, as a matter of public policy,generally wants to make sure that people who hare limited, are not taken advantage of.

If you would like me to assist you with the filing of the necessary action in probate court, and represent you, contact me at 978.749.3606.
