Hello @avmcbellar,
As you are probably aware, you do not need his permission to get conservatorship (control of his money) or guardianship (control of his person). It sounds like you have adequate proof through his arrests and financial problems that his life needs good supervision. I might suggest that you at least have a consult with an attorney to discuss the pros and cons of conservatorship and guardianship. It will protect him in the long-run which is what must be done for his safety. It will also give you and the rest of the family some peace of mind. If you do this it is important that you do it while he is still residing in the same state as you.
Have you considered consulting with an attorney without him present?

Hi Teresa @hopeful33250 and Ginger @gingerw Thank you for your suggestions. We appreciate it and would take those into consideration but at our age we don’t want the legal responsibility to be paying for any loss or damages he may cause. Who knows he may do more damage knowing he won’t be responsible. He tries to be as cautious as he possibly can now. Like I said he will not gives us information unless we ask. We won’t know details if he is up to anything new until he gets into trouble. Thanks for the thought. Toni
