Custody of mentally ill sister n brother
25-Sep-2023 (In Family Law)
I am living with my wife and son in a separate house .when my mother in law became ill, my wife brought her to our house. Along with her she had to bring her sister and brother, who are mentally ill , also. But soon mother in law passed awAy . Now my wife is looking after her siblings. She has a brother who is well off and living separate. He is not at all bothered about them. He and his wife claim that we have to rake care of them or we have to send them to a care centre. We do not want to do that. Is there any way in which we can make them take responsibility of his siblings?
It is great that you and your wife ar taking care of her invalid siblings. The posting does not reveal that there are no real constraints in carrying out this magnanimity. Only constraint is that your brother-in-law and his family is indifferent. Just learn to take it in the stride. Your endeavour is a great lesson for your children in their developing care and affection for one and all.
Legally, all that could be done get yourself or your wife appointed as guardian for them, if the situation so warrants and their expenses could be met from the property, if any, they had inherited.
