94 Year Old Grandpa Suddenly Married His Caretaker Of The Last 11 Months. What Are Some Of The First Things We Should Do?

Location: Florida, United States

Posting for my husband. His grandpa is 94 and lives in Florida. Grandpa has 3 children, all over the age of 60, and 3 grandchildren all over the age of 30. Grandpa owns his house and has some assets. I'm 99% sure he has a will.

Grandpa's been unmarried for at least 20 years and moved to Florida many years ago. None of his children or grandchildren live anywhere near Florida, but all his children visit once or twice a year.

My husband's uncle hired a service provider from an agency about a year ago. This provider suddenly quit her job and married grandpa last week. Nobody saw it coming. The new wife has changed all the locks on the house and is refusing to let grandpa answer phone calls from his relatives. The new wife was married once and her previous husband died (we have no further info on that yet).

Me and my husband have watched a lot of true crime shows and we've seen this story before.

What things should we be doing right now, both in terms of legal steps and just good things in general to be doing?

Thanks for any advice.
