Gambling Brother in Law

Apologies for long thread. Brother in law a gambler and has spent all of my widowed Mother in Law savings and now she has nothing apart from pension and the family home that she lives in.

Diagnosed with Parkinson’s and is becoming very frail. Found some documents around her home about equity release but she denies. We had hoped that the money she had in savings would enable her to stay in her family home and it would have been adapted.

She now needs help etc with home/garden and the only person in actually wanting the best for her is me. Her 3 sons are useless (my husband included and no one has actually challenged the gambling son around the spending of tens of thousands of pounds

How can we find out if equity release has been taken out?

Any suggestions would be welcomed ...

You should be able to see the charges on the land registry.
