Yes, he is her brother by birth...they both had the same mother and father. As I mentioned, I am not interested in taking advantage of any US Social Programs for his care such as Medicaid, Social Security, etc. He doesn't really require anything other than supervision and his medication which I have no problem paying for out of my own pocket. As for being late in considering this problem, I would ask that you refrain from passing judgements about a situation in which you do not have all the facts. Fact is, we had already made arrangements for his care prior to his mother's death. We had her home transferred into our name with the idea that upon her passing, we would sell the home and use the money to finance his stay in a nursing home, all of which he agreed to prior to us making those arrangements. What we couldn't account for was the Romainian economy taking a massive dive into the toilet over a 6 week period that has real estate values at 30% of what they were just 6 months ago, foreclosures in Bucharest taking place at a rate of 5-7 evictions and seizures per day, and is sparking talks of another revolt against the government that makes what is going on in Greece look like a picnic. Given these recent developments and the untimely passing of her mother, this has forced us to pursue alternative options which is why I am seeking the advice and suggestions of people with more knowledge and understanding of the whole process than I. If I wanted sarcasm, I could certainly find that elsewhere more readily. I will take the only useful bit of information you provided and seek consultation from an attorney who will hopefully be of greater assistance than that which I received in this forum.
