My sibling placed my mom in a locked facility, deemed her incompetent after having her sign ALL of her rights over to her husband. ALL of my rights were removed from my mother's care and even from being able to have her call me. ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME AND MY MOM! I am willing and able to care for my mom, do not expect payment, and am watching her die in front of my eyes from loneliness and depression. She does not need to be locked up. She needs to be in her own home with care needed. I am able to provide that care and she and I are very close and always have been. She wants me to care for her. She wants to go home.
Please get help from an attorney and not from an anonymous, global forum where you have no idea if we're giving you accurate advice, there are no consequences if we do, we don't get all the details, and may not even live in IL. And, we're not attorneys.
If you want free legal help you will need to research that online for pro bono attorneys in IL. I'm sorry for this distressing situation. I hope you and your family can resolve it peacefully.
This is a matter for your own attorneys and for your APS (Adult Protective Services) if you have proof of wrongdoing.
Under most circumstances a spouse acts for his or her spouse when they are unable to act for themselves.
If you have proof of wrongdoing do consider and Attorney or APS.
