Default Brother Has Stolen Elderly Dad's Identity In Michigan
My question involves criminal law for the state of: Michigan - We recently became aware that my brother (residing with dad to help with care) has taken out credit cards in his name to the tune of $30k over the past 18 months. We began looking into this when we received a call from the nursing home that 2 checks had bounced! The Cards are maxed and in collection. A recent credit report shows a new card issued in march 08 - Dad is currently in a nursing home and was served yesterday to appear in court for bad checks. Brother is blind as the result of an accident 2 years ago - (Nursing home stated that he cannot be removed from Farm due to disability) Where do we begin? We are concerned about Dad and pending criminal charges and the family farm (free and clear) is in jepardy. What is our 1st course of action- We are in the process (today) of getting Dad to sign power of attorney to transfer all pension and SSI money away from brothers access to further his care.

Bro has been convicted of fraud and bad checks in the past, but never dreamed that he would defraud his father! We are currently looking into a title search and gathering information to find out everything that may be pending as the result of brothers actions. Big Can of Worms and need direction - Thanks for any advice. Worried in Wisconsin!
