Legal Question in Elder Law in New York

My sister and her family moved from out of state after my mother died and lived with my father. They used his money to pay all of the bills and transfered money from his account into their own. My sister even forged his name on checks. He is no longer living there and my sibling is in the process of evicting this family and has put my fathers home up for sale. How can we assist my father who has dementia to recoop this money?

Thank you

I would need to hear some more details, but it is likely that you will need to commence a guardianship proceeding. Within that proceeding, the transfers could be addressed and the sale of the house could be restrained. This is a large discussion. Feel free to call my office.
