Contact your state Wisconsin bar association.  They maintain a data base of attorneys who specialize in elder law.

---If these issues are not taken care of when they need to be.  Someone else will take care of it for you.

Thanks for the replies, it's an issue with an older relative that (we think) is being neglected , mentally and financially being taken advantage of. Their current p.o.a. With that and the logistics, it's difficult. The cupboards are bare ,almost nothing in the fridge ,three changes of clothes ,a dinning room table and chairs , 1 chair , a couple of wooden chairs ,an end table ,a tv and a bed. No cleaning supplies , no vacuum ,1 picture , nothing else. Their almost 100.

Please contact that county's Social Service department, and/or Adult Protective Services and share your facts.

They are the good guys and that's what our taxes go to pay for. 

Please do not delay.

Did. They are ok with this. My brother did some searching and it appears they are (the usual) under staffed and under funded so I'm sure they are holding out for some worst cases. Sad.

Just a thought. Maybe post this over at the personal finance section of the Vanguard forums

https://www.bogleheads.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=2

or similar investment/finance forums where the people are managing their own business and sharing what they know. You'll at least get a lot more exposure there and a better chance at finding somebody decent. Similarly, WI also has a Coalition of Wisconsin Aging Groups

http://cwagwisconsin.org/elder-law-center/

that has an elder law center.
